Whew that title was a mouth full!!
I will start off by saying... I am not being asked to write this blog nor am I being paid for it!! I'd like to be paid in paint if anyone is reading ::cough::
Anywho... I saw that Home Depot was carrying DecoArt Chalky Paint now. So I jumped online and ordered some. See I have a garage full and a partial basement full of my auction furniture finds. And, I like trying new paints.
I have had these little side tables for a while... never really cared for them much.
I decided I'd try the DecoArt Chalky Paint out on one of them because honestly if I didn't like the paint I didn't care about the table. Well....let me just say I LOVE... like seriously super puffy heart in love with this paint.
It went on super smooth. It adhered nicely. It was easy to sand and not chip off too much.
I only used 2 coats & it covered as perfect as I what I wanted!
I let it dry for a couple of hours because I was meeting my daddy for lunch and had errands to run.
And, then I added a couple of red stripes for an inspired grain sack look.
Distressed lightly...
Changed the pull to this cute thing I found at Hobby Lobby that I've been dying to use!!
DecoArt also carries a water based wax that I used on the table. And, I was as impressed with it as I am with the paint. It is fast drying and goes on nice & smooth.
The table was painted in the color called Timeless and waxed with the clear wax. The red stripes is some of Miss Mustard Seed Tricycle I had leftover from the curio cabinet makeover.
And, the little teacart I promised to show... It is finished, but I wanted to show this cutie first. BUT, I will give you this to hold you over until the full reveal! Oh man it is a cutie as well... My hubby even commented on it without being prompted...
