Side Table Fun
Peyton Lambton
This table originally sat in our sunroom with the tv on top. It's a great piece and I love the wheels on the legs, but I wasn't a fan of the color of the wood so I decided to give it a little facelift. Of course I forgot to take a photo before I began painting but I did catch it before I painted the drawer.
I purchased this sample pot of Dark Teal by Benjamin Moore a while ago and I was just waiting for the perfect piece to give it a try. Well this worked out better than I imagined and I have gotten so many compliments on how it turned out. The sample I received did turn out more blue than the card shows, but I really like it anyway. I used my BB Frosch chalk powder to turn this perfect color into a chalk paint. This kept me from having to sand and scrub the old stain off. Just paint right over it! I liked how it looked after one coat and left some of the wood to show through in different places. This gives it a vintage vibe. After covering in clear wax I let it sit overnight and now I have a great table in our new living room.
