Chalk Paint strikes again!

Here is my tall side table 'before.' It is a cute little thing but someone didn't take good care of it.

I'm showing all the dings and wear because the awesome ASCP allowed me to dive into painting without any of that boring sanding and stripping. Using Duck Egg Blue I dragged the brush over the legs, not worrying about coverage, since I wanted a rustic look. It turned out perfect.

The next step was the checkerboard legs. I masked off the legs with automotive tape. It's more flexible than painters tape, I think. I used Old White for the checks and Aubusson Blue for the accents. When I pulled the tape off I got random patches of chippiness.

Next, the top. I covered the top and inside the drawer with Paris Grey, then Used Old White for the checks and Aubusson Blue for the accents. I'm loving these three colors together. For the feet and the border on top, I used Graphite.

A good, solid coating of wax and some spray sealer on top (for extra protection) and my little table was done!

Onto etsy.com this one goes. I'll hate to see it go but I'm enjoying looking at it in my living room while I can!
