My New “Between” Table
Posted by melissa on Jun 28, 2012 in chalk paint, family room, painted furniture, thrift store | 36 comments
I found the greatest Goodwill on the planet last week while I was in Nashville.
We were there for a week with a camp for our youth group.
I was able to go several times.
Ok, so some days I went twice in one day!
(Should I really admit that?)
If you were finding the things I was finding, you would have gone twice a day also!
One of my great finds was and end table.
It is actually sitting between 2 chairs in my family room, so I guess for me it is more of a “between” table.
A little Annie Sloan chalk paint and here she is!
Here is what I started with.
It is in good shape and has the cutest little wheels!
I was hot a blue blazes here in Murfreesboro today, so I painted in the shade of my front porch!
I am sure that my neighbors think I am crazy!
I have a new color of Annie Sloan chalk paint that I wanted to try – CoCo.
I accented with Country Grey.
Then, I sanded it to give it a very distressed look.
And, followed with dark wax.
I love the way it turned out!
It looks great between the chairs in my family room.
You can read about how I painted and slipcovered one of the chairs (my chair) here.
This is the view from the back.
I feel like I need to hang a little picture there!
I couldn’t resist bringing in another hydrangea bloom!
The little box was given to us by a dear friend many years ago.
It was her lunch box! Actually, the first lunch box ever made!
(She said that she was kind of a spoiled child! Her husband said that he carried what everyone else carried – a lard bucket!)
I love the way you can see the great details of this table with the two toned paint and dark wax!
I plan on getting rid of the floor lamp.
(My 12 year old is planning to redecorate her room, so she says it will go with her new style!)
I have started painting a lamp for this table.
If I am not careful, I will paint my whole house with chalk paint!
Life to the full to you today!
Here are the places that I party!

Great find, Melissa, and it turned out beautifully! I just got some Coco to try for a little accent table in our sunroom. Your table is great for its size and you even have a shelf for more storage underneath!
hi Melissa – it’s such a sweet little table. and I love how you have painted it. what a great find!
cheers Fiona
It’s an entirely new being now, Melissa! What vision to see and create that outcome from it’s humble beginnings. Fantastic!

Each week is a new challenge so come over and have fun!
I’m jealous! I was just admiring your wall collections again. You are so good!
Oh, you lucky duck! I LOVE the table! Fantastic addition to your beautiful home. I guess I’m going to have to travel to the South so I can score some good thrift finds. I went to my local thrift store this week looking for dishes and lamp bases and only came home with a Star Wars mask and a plastic army helmet (the risks you run if you take your little boys with you). Oh well, at least THEY had a successful shopping trip . . .
Great Goodwill find! I will have to go to the Goodwill next time I am in Nashville
You did a great job with the chalk paint!
blessings,

It came out so pretty!
Beautiful job on that sweet table! Love the colors you chose! Where would we be without our beloved ASCP….?? lol!

Nice color combo.
I love the way you finished the table and having no experience in refinishing I had not heard of Chalk Paint. I’m off to check into it now. I love what the effect!
It looks so pretty. Well don!
You had to go and flaunt your gorgeous hydrangea blooms in our faces again, didn’t you? Love the table’s color – great job making those details pop. Don’t you love furniture on casters? I think I would consider a small print on the backside.

(Oh and I’ve gone to GW twice in a day also! Haha)
Where are you from?
How pretty! I love the color combo. Looks like a magazine photo. Thanks for sharing with the newbie party.
Your table is so cute and has great personality. I love the color combination you used.

I love the fact that you honored the beauty of the details! What a great inspiration. Most “Makeovers” just slap on a coat of paint – but you gave that table true beauty. Bless you for your artistic talent.
As for the back – every now and then an inspirational quote or pic of family – make it honor the artist too.
Looks great! What a transformation!
Hugs,
Debbie
That is beautiful!! You did a wonderful job!
BEAUTIFUL! It looks really good between the chairs…I love the style of the table and the color of it to! The 2 tone adds so much character! I love it!

We absolutely love the table and the color is just beautiful! Great work!! We appreciate you linking up to our “Strut Your Stuff Saturday! It was great having you and we hope you’ll be back next week!! -The Sisters
Such a pretty little table you found. I adore the little wheels! It looks right at home in your space. I have not tried this chalk paint that I am seeing everywhere in blogland. Hmmmmm. Perhaps I need to buy myself a bit and try it out. I do love me a good paint!
Hugs, Angie
