After the usual sanding and priming, I painted the whole piece in a pale greenish-bluish grey colour. Then I did my stripes in a slightly darker blue grey. They were both mistints from Benjamin Moore and they ended up working really nicely together. I did some slight distressing to finish the piece off and give it a little bit more of that relaxed beachy feel.
I'm super tickled with how it turned out! In case you're wondering how it was done, I'm also putting together a stripes tutorial that I'll have ready for you later this week.
If you live in the Winnipeg area and want to bring a little 'beach' into your home, you can purchase the Beach Stripes Coffee Table from Lather Creations here!
