WOW I can’t believe how fast you can work with this chalk paint. I was amazed that I could transform this table from this…
to this in a matter of a few hours!
I lightly sanded after applying two coats of the Annie Sloan cream chalk paint and I used clear and dark wax.
The longest and hardest part of the whole transformation of this table was sanding and re-staining the tabletop.
I used Minwax Wood stain and applied three coats to the tabletop. I completed the base of the table before re-staining the top because of the drying time of the stain.
I have to say, I really like this paint and will definitely use it again. In fact, I am placing an order for another color as I have more furniture pieces to paint for this bedroom make-over.
As always, thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteLove the table, Gail! It's nice to see how you transformed an oak table to this! My daughter will be taking my oak dining table and I bet this would be a great way to renew it for her.

love how you did your table. its subtle and done with a gentle hand - yet the distressing still shows.. congrats on a job well done.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Yes, it only takes one piece and you are hooked. Be careful...before you know it you'll be painting everything in sight! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat is really beautiful now!!! I love the dark top and white distressed legs. I really think I will do my dining room table like that, I like it more every time I see it.
