So like almost every redo I forgot to take greta pics before or even during. I bought this coffee table at a shop solid wood for like $80 bucks 3 years ago. It has been a great table but it just need that something extra. With all the stuff I do for my Salty Sisters Junk Business you would think I would have a really great house... Wrong... I feel like its very vanilla... so this is the table top.
and this is the base... I think it is some mexican antique reproduction thing, but it was solid wood and very sturdy.
I made chalk paint in turquoise... Now this isn't chalkboard paint, this stuff just has a nice chalky finish and it distresses very well. 1 part calcium Carbonate, 2 parts paint and a dash of water. This is after i sanded the edges.
This is after glazing with a dark glaze.

It turned out great and we are so excited about our joint masterpiece!
It still need waxing and sealing.
Just a note on the wood. We did not go cheap on the lumber cause we wanted to showcase it so the table top wood cost about $50 from a specialty lumber yard.
Enjoy! now onto our headboard project:)
that looks great. What did you do with the original top?
ReplyDeleteI still have it... I'm gonna use it for somethin'... I just don't know what yet:) Thanks!
