Here's my latest project...
One of our tenants (Art's & mine, years ago) left this coffee table. It spent a while in my shed (with the wheelchair there was no room for a coffee table), and George & I have been using it for the past few years.
I've always known that I wanted to paint it, and finally after getting 'the painting bug' at my daughter's (painting her 18 yr old cradle), I purchased some chalk paint once I got back home. Researched a bunch of brands, but settled on Dixie Belle (it's made locally!).
Jenny helped me paint the first coat, one day before spending the afternoon in the pool. I did the second coat the next day, and yesterday I gave it the 2 finish coats.
Today it came back in the house (it was in my bike's spot, and I got my bike back this morning).
Today's pix aren't loading, 😞 once I can, I'll add them here!
I love how it turned out. (Even though George had asked me yesterday if I knew that I'd missed a few spots! 😂 I didn't miss them, I sanded it down in places to give it a distressed look!)
Now I want to paint his recliner! 😂(Yeah, chalk paint can even be used on furniture! )
