Looking back at my posts, I do not see where I showed you the before and after of my drab to fab furniture makeover using chalk paint on an old pedestal dining table that I picked up at a garage sale. I refinished the piece using chalk paint. Remember this was the table that I practically got for free and did’nt know how I was going to use it when I bought it? I am calling it my drab to fab furniture makeover project.
The before of my Drab to Fab furniture makeover using chalk paint
As soon as I saw the table I knew it had real possibilities. I loved the weight and structure of the table. Basically, I sanded it down lightly and then applied 2 coats of Annie Sloan Chalk paint in Old White. For a slight distressed look , I sanded down the edges with 220 grit sanding block. The last step was to apply a wax to the table top.

Lesson for today is never pass up on something that may not look “pretty” or looks old and drab. If you do, call me and I will come buy it!
