I bought this little table at my go-to local antique store for $15 and knew it was perfect. I love doing small tables like this because I’m SUPER impatient and they usually don’t take as long to complete as a dresser or larger piece.
I painted it in Old White Chalk Paint and sealed it using a custom mix of clear and dark wax.
For the top, I used a method I discovered for getting off wood veneer. Visit my blog to see the whole tutorial! After it was removed I sanded it and restained it :)
Some burlap and a bird knob found at Hobby Lobby are the perfect finishing touches.

Gilda Penshorn-Sebold on Mar 27, 2015Great job. I never wanted to do furniture because I am also way too impatient. I might try this. Where do you get the paint and wax?

Gloria tulip on Mar 28, 2015I now have a piece of veneer I can use elsewhere, as described in my first reply. The veneer I took off was from an old sewing machine cover - purchase without the sewing machine. Your table is lovely. I am going to put a slate top on mine, since my table came with the bedroom suite I had as a child.
