Coral Chalk Paint Table
Posted by melissa on Jun 15, 2013 in chalk paint, painted furniture | 21 comments
I wish I lived in Mayberry.
I’d own a little store right beside Floyd’s Barber Shop.
I’d live down the street,
so that I could walk to work.
(My house would be the one
with the wrap around front porch,
and the picket fence.)
I’d be careful not to jay-walk.
Barney might be watching.
Just a little dream of mine. . .
In the mean time,
Murfreesboro is probably as close as I am going to get to Mayberry. . .
And, even though I don’t own the shop.
And, I have to drive to get to the square.
I love that I get to sell my things
at Simply Southern,
nestled right between
the dress store,
and the barber shop.
I painted this table with one of the Lowes Valspar sample paints called Sonoma Rose,
and Annie Sloan Old White.
I added Webster’s chalk paint mix to the Valspar paint,
shook thoroughly,
painted,
distressed,
and topped it all of with a clear wax.
Life to the full!

Love this table! It makes me so happy to look at it. As for your house in Mayberry, that’s the one I’ve always wanted, but maybe you’ll let me come visit and drink iced tea with you.
Hi Melissa,
I have been following for a while and love all your posts and beautiful transformations. I just don’t always have the time to comment, but your email came through as I was wrapping up my post and I quickly headed over. I love your table, the color and the distressing. You evoke beautiful images as you describe Mayberry!
I am off to see my hubby in hospital. I hope you can come over for a quick visit!

Looks great! Love the color. I’m always so jealous of people who can pull off those bright cheerful colors in their home furniture!!!
Love the color of that table!! I could totally live in Mayberry too. Such a picturesque town.
Have a great weekend!
Beautiful table and a beautiful color, Melissa! I haven’t heard of this chalk mix to add to paint, but it sounds like it is worth trying.
Beautiful colors!!! Wow. I wish stuff like that would sell around here. We’ll be driving past Murfreesboro tomorrow on our way to Florida
I’ll way to you as we drive by!
Hey hey gal, awesome table, love the color. That is same color I painted my little night stand with the aqua. Where do you find the pieces you redo? You sure live in right place for finding pieces. I love that style table.
Oh how I’d love to make a road trip to find pieces in midwest, KY, TN wherever we could find them. I’d love to go to the world’s longest yard sale in Sept again. Take care
Oh I love the coral and the way this one turned out!
I think it would be fun to start our own mayberry. All of us who dream of such a life should get together and live the life!
I’m so glad you have a place to share and sell your cool makeovers! That is sweet!
