Bringing new life to a friends old kitchen table

Happy Wednesday friends!!!

Last week, my good friend asked if I could do something to her old kitchen table....she had recently purchased some beautiful off white glazed chairs from Pottery Barn and was hoping I could get her table to take on a similar look.  Here's what we came up with:

here is the finished leg...but it all started with this: 
my friend chose a very light sage green paint...

BEFORE THE MAKEOVER

this is after we sanded, primed and painted last week...

now that the paint had a week to cure, I went back yesterday and added glaze and wax to the table... 
We are both thrilled with the finished product...It looks so good with the PB chairs!!!
ahhhh.....the power of paint & friendship

  4. The table looks amazing! Did you use the Annie Sloane paint or another brand? Still haven't decided if I want to paint my old Craig's List table. Hope you are having a very Merry Christmas time!

  6. Thanks for your kind words and visit to us at Magnolia Lane! I know Christy will come by here soon, but I had to check it out for myself. I can't wait to look around more--I am working on my own kitchen table redo right now too. Have a wonderful holiday and we look forward to seeing more of what you do!
