I love how all the detail work stands out now.
One more Before....
Now I am on the hunt for some new pillows for these chairs. These chairs are really not my style but they are perfect for now with the kids, especially little Miss Victoria and her lollipops!
I also redid this toy box that my dad made for me when Mackenzie was born 11yrs ago, now Victoria has all her goodies in there. All 3 of my kids got plenty of use out of this. I used black paint that I already had and then stenciled the numbers on it, the numbers are my favorite part!
I always love and appreciate your visits! Hope you all are having a great week! Martina

Table looks great! Really brightened the room up.
Oh my gosh I just love it! I've got a can of Old White that is sitting there just waiting to be opened. I really have got to do something with it. Thanks for the inspiration. Did you do 2 coats? Oh and the wicker tray is perfect.
Martina, the table looks great all chalked and sanded. I love the way it brings out the detail. I am working on a piece, too. So darn addictive!
Hi Martina,
Your before was pretty, but the after with the chalk paint it is gorgeous!!! It looks totally different. The details show up so beautifully.
Hugs, cindy
The table looks wonderful, Martina! I am so looking forward to trying out this paint on something!

The table looks great Marina!!
The table came out great...it was pretty before, but that's a total new look...I love painting old pieces.
Looks fantastic Martina. Really brightens up the area too. Good job girl. I have nothing in the works right now as far as painting furniture..I have no time on my hands with these little guys home LOL.
Love that painted piece! It really has personality now. I guess I am going to have to try some of the chalk paint....it just seems to easy to use! Linda
It looks great, Martina !! It truly pops now against paired with your beautiful chairs. Love the distressing you did, as well !! What's next ?! LOL
Your table looks great! I think that painting it changed that whole area of your room for the better. I have some leather too & I can't wait until the kids are done trashing it so I can get rid of it!
I love it! Your finish looks fabulous. I am clueless though...what exactly is old white? Is it a brand of paint? I'm embarrassed but not enough to keep me from asking because I've got a couple of pieces I'd like to do like this! ;-)

It's beautiful and I love the view out your window.
gorgeous! Love how it looks in that room :)

The table looks great! Love the painted chest too! I've put numbers on several items and just love the look!
Blessings!!
Your chest is a real beauty now. I love the wicker tray on top, too. I really must order some of the chalk paint.
What a gorgeous piece Martina! The curves on it stand out so much more now and you did a fabulous job on it and on the toy box too! :-)

Looks great, I am going to have to find something to paint!
Wow your good, what an incredible transformation, and I love that toy box too, I have one like that and will be thinking of what color I should use!
Wow! An amazing transformation! Love it! Happy week!...hugs....Debbie
Question: I am about to paint an armoire with chalk paint. Do you have to use her brand of wax, or will a brand like Johnson's paint wax work?
I love it! You are right... the details just pop out now!!! The shape of you table is gorgeous, too.
Great paint job! It looks stunning now! The shape is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing:)
Hope to see you on my blog:)
Great job Martina! What a beautiful transformation! The chalk paint makes the whole piece stand out so well now. Great work!

I love it. Looks so nice in your room.
I love the shape of your table, and the chalk paint really accentuates it! *pretty*
looks fab, such a great shape too~
Great transformation and your right it really does bring out the detail on the piece. It also makes your window area a lot lighter looking. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Martina, The little table was pretty before but now it is gorgeous! Love the toy box too.
Thanks for joining my party this week and take care.

lovely piece, did you get brush marks afterh the paint was dry?
Turned out amazing! How much chalk paint did that piece take? I am wanting to order some and don't know how much to get! I have 2dressers, 2 nightstands, mirror, and full size bed!
It looks beautiful. I will be featuring it tonight at my Sizzle into Summer party. Please stop by and pick up an I've Been Featured button. The link opens at 8pm EST. Thanks.
