Updating My Tea Cup Shelf

A few months ago when I painted my tea trolley a light green colour 'in this post' I loved it.

Then it made my tea cup shelf look too dark.  So I thought I'd freshen it up.  The only photo I could find is the partial one above.

Anyway, out came the white and old white ASCP and the leftover green/white mix from the tea trolley.



Base coat of pure white, followed by crackle medium, old white, and then clear and dark wax mix.  





Its a light crackle, but it still adds a lot of texture and depth to the white finish.


The teacups look nicer with the green back ground too. 



So, now that its painted a lighter colour I'm happy. I can sleep at night again. At least until the wall colour bugs me enough to paint the room!

  1. Ha! I know just what you mean. You start painting one thing and before you know it, the whole house needs a makeover!

    I love your vintage green tea cart and the fresh new look on your teacup shelf!

    I like it a lot, and it matches perfectly with the tea trolley.
