shabby chic furniture

What type of paint would you use to paint over vintage furniture - 2 coats to be distressed?

An auquamarine color with i tint of white or any light/bright blue i did this with a desk in my room and it looks so cool and it was all DIY i even made the desk!

Benjamin Moore's Ben Waterborne Interior Paint in Universal Black (No. 2118-10), we've used this on both benches and chairs. The finish is classy and it's a very easy cleanup compared to oil. You can always get a sample of any color to try before committing.

Please post pics. We'd love to see your work!

Hi Jason, here's a pic of the bench. We had the wicker done by a shop in Berkeley and it turned out fantastic. Not bad for a $50 bench that was purple(!) when we bought it.

That's gorgeous. Thanks for posting.
