Hi Friends!!
I've been working on these bedside tables for my older girls beach house bedrooms...I paid $15 for the both of them at a tag sale...solid oak, french legs and dovetail drawers!!!...I FINALLY bought and used AS chalk paint...must say...I'm sold on it now. Take a look at the before and after and see what you think. I'm thrilled with the outcome...they are perfect for the beach!!

So pretty, love the basket underneath. Cant go wrong with white and these are perfect for the beach house look.
ReplyDeleteI love your redo, it came our great! I finally got some AS paints too. But I posted my dresser redo (before I got the new paint) stop by and see it if you get a chance. Laura
ReplyDeleteSooooo pretty Mariaelena! Your going to be addicted to that stuff now! Love the pretty handle on the drawer too. We leave for California on Monday, can't wait!! Enjoy the rest of the summer:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great DIY, it looks fantastic! I'm working on a metal industrial style table from the 60's today. I just finished an accordion style rack to put my vintage scarves on. It used to be an ugly 1970's wood finish, now it's a darling white! I love DIY projects! :)

Great transformation, Mariaelena! I haven't tried the AS paint yet, so I have to ask -- did you do any pre-sanding & did it go a long way? Those are always the big claims about this paint -- no sanding or special treatment of the wood prior to painting, and a quart of this paint lasts and last through several projects. I wanted to ask someone who doesn't have AS Paint as a sponsor.....lol!

Looks beautiful! I wish chalk paint would come down in price because it looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Mariaelena! The table looks great painted white.
ReplyDeleteMariaelena- Perfect for the beach look! I love it and you did a nice job-just enough distressing and not overdone at all- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - I just did one almost identical ( without the bottom shelf which I wish mine had!!! )
ReplyDeleteYour newest follower - would love to have you visit and follow back when you can

Your project popped up on my Google Alerts this morning. I handle the PR in north America for Chalk Paint (Annie Sloan's paint) and I always keep an eye out for what people are doing. Your tables turned out beautifully! Congratulations! In response to one of your readers, I wanted to say that we don't sponsor any blogs and never have. The paint's success has been purely 'word of mouth' via the blogs. Annie Sloan Unfolded is the north American company that manufactures and distributes the paint, and we are sponsoring Junk Bonanza, IDAL, and we just sponsored Haven, which is a blogger's conference. The rest we leave up to the users who love it so much. Shaunna West, of Perfectly Imperfect blog, loved the paint so much she recently became a stockist... That's a fan.
ReplyDeleteHello, I love your table redo! I have never painted with chaulk paint! I need to give it a try! Thank you for the show and tell!
ReplyDeleteYep! Definitely great for the beach or anywhere you want to lighten up and enjoy the softer side of life. So pretty now! Found your post at Mod Vintage Life. Hope you'll stop over and visit at Quirky Vistas. I'm following now. Hope you'll do the same!
