Another victim of Annie Sloan chalk paint. When I saw the new colors that came out I knew I had to find a piece to try them on, and the coffee table in my family room was the proud participant! I ordered a can of the cream because I liked the soft yellow tone it had to it, but after it went on it was to light for me. So I ordered a sample of French Linen and Coco. I love both colors but Coco was the choice for this project. Let's take a look.
I like how a little of the cream came through after I sanded it down. I used both the clear and dark waxes.
BEFORE
and After....
I LOVE it's new look!

Looks beautiful. I saw the French Linen too and liked it as well.
Yes, I prefer to the new look. You did a great job!
Oh I love the look of the coffee table. How fun. Your room is so pretty and the new color is wonderful. Hugs, Marty
Looks great and so does your table top vignette Martina!
Nice color, Martina! It looks like it picks up the other gray I can see in the room, too.
Very pretty, I think the color choice is perfect for the space:)
Oh yeah! This was the perfect color for this coffee table!! It looks perfect in the room! I love it better too!! \
I notice your copy of French Country on the table..I LOVE that magazine!! LOVE IT!
Lou Cinda :)
It looks just beautiful Martina! Congrats to the winner and thanks in advance for sharing this at Inspiration Friday this week! :-)

I just love how your table turned out! I like it better than it looked before. That's a great color for your room. My sister has French Linen and said I should use it on the mirror in my foyer. I think I might give it a try.
The coco is so pretty and your table makeover looks outstanding! I so need to finish my tables in my cottage:) Congrats to the WINNER!!!
Blessings,
Linda
Looks great Martina~!
love it, i've been thinking of buying the coco and french linen.
Coco is a pretty new color and it looks gorgeous on your coffee table. I used the cream on our bedroom furniture, which works perfect in there, but yes it is lighter for sure. I think your fireplace is going to be your next victim LOL! I'm just sayin!
I like it, Martina. Looks really good!..Christine
Me gusta mucho el cambio, se ve muy bien. Saludos desde C.R.
Fabulous new look for your coffee table, Martina!
Nice job Martina. I think the color works perfectly with your decor.
This is perfect Martina, gotta say I think our rugs are the same, I just love your living room!
Martina, The new color is wonderful! I love how it transformed the table. Thanks for linking to the Open House Party.

Martina, your table turned out wonderfully! Love the color!! It looks as if it has been in the room like that all along! What a great redo!!

Wow, love the new color. It really did transform that coffee table. Makes me want to paint some more.
Do you have a new header??? It's beautiful.
Martina, that looks like the perfect choice of color. You did a beautiful job on finishing the table - looks so good! Ties in with the rest of the decor. Linda
Great job, Martina! I love that you went with Coco ... it gives your already gorgeous space a new look! Wonderful job distressing it, too! I'm tellin' ya' ... the chalk paint is addictive! And, do I spy a Country French magazine in your basket? That's one of my faves ... xoxo
I just used CoCo on my first AS project. I just have to get a little bit braver with my sanding. I never take enough off it seems. I have two more tables to paint in the den. They are a red wood stain, should be interesting to see how they sand off under the CoCo.
It looks wonderful! I will have to check Coco out...
Love the new look of the table. And congrats to Cindy
Love your table, looks great! I hear so many good things about the AS paint. Will have to try it out once I get settled in my new home.
Your table looks brand new! I love it's new look.
Thank you so much, Martina, I look forward to using those lovely napkins and teatowel! They are so sweet and so are you!
Hugs, Cindy
