'Chateau' Table

8/11/2016

Chateau Table - This lovely side table ( or even a sofa table) was rescued from boredom and given the full treatment to bring it back to life!
I used my own chalk paint recipe* which goes farther, and is a more custom color process than purchasing loads of cans that I may only choose once. The tutorial (under the Inspirational Projects tab) will give even beginners a real step-by-step process to see how to transform even your dreariest of pieces no matter the size or use. So, follow along, and let me know how you have used these steps to produce your own little treasures!

Go to the "Inspirational Projects' tab for the process on this project... (sorry for the tutorial link confusion!). Comment if you have questions, and PLEASE share your own experiences!!! I would love to see your own transformations too!!!

*Chalk paint recipe - Mix 1/3 cup of Plaster of Paris and 1/3 cup of cool water; stir until completely smooth. Mix that with 1 cup of latex paint and stir thoroughly. I stored in small jars and plastic containers. Jars worked better.

And here is the chalk paint recipe that worked for me:Mix 1/3 cup of Plaster of Paris and 1/3 cup of cool water; stir until completely smooth. Mix that with 1 cup of latex paint and stir thoroughly. This will make enough chalk-finish paint for one coat on a six-drawer dresser.

Hi there! I'm so happy you are going to try this!! I was happy with this recipe: Mix 1/3 cup of Plaster of Paris and 1/3 cup of cool water; stir until completely smooth. Mix that with 1 cup of latex paint and stir thoroughly.
Have fun!!!
