This is one of most unique pieces I have acquired. I loved the shape, the legs and the hardware!!! I had to have it even tho a couple of the legs were broken and it was missing some of the wood trim. Luckily they had a matching little table they sold me cheap because it was missing a leg – and both of it’s drawers. It had all the trim I needed tho! Maybe when I run out of things to do I will make a little half table with a basket inside.
BEFORE:
I decided to do it with chalk paint. I am not patient enough to order it and wait for it to be shipped, so I made my own using Martha Stewart’s Heavy Cream flat paint and plaster of paris. There are several recipes online if you google “recipe for chalk paint”. I will look up the one I used and link to it later.
Chalk paint is perfect when it’s too hot to spray outside. I put down plastic and painted in the house! It was lovely
Since I live in Las Vegas, you will probably see a few more chalk painted pieces for the next couple months.
