ANOTHER CHALK PAINT PROJECT

Again, I forgot to get BEFORE pictures before jumping into redoing this sweeeet table.  

The top had been painted a terrible kelly green enamel and the rest was done in white enamel.  So, to keep from having to do lots of prep work, I decided to use chalk paint on this one.  And, it worked amazingly yet again!!!  8-)

I used the plaster of Paris recipe which is given HERE.  The paint, I had mixed , using a deep turquoise and adding white to make a prettier, softer color.  I put on two coats, sanding between coats.  And, since I love the soft chalky look, I didn't wax or do any other kind of finish.  If you want, you can add a finish, but it changes the soft look.  

This neat old piece still sported its original label on the bottom saying, Maddox Table Company, Jamestown, N.Y.  After a little research, I believe this to have been produced between the late 1800's and no later than the 1920's.   Just look at the detail.

Sanding a little around the edges allowed the white and green to show through.

Add items that match and she's ready to use.

See ya'll soon with more makeovers.  8-)
