Mint Painted End Table Makeover
$11
3 Hours
Easy
I found this end table sitting curbside on the side of the road one weekend and knew she had potential.
I mean look at those legs. She just needs a little paint and some new hardware to be brought into this century.
Even though I am using chalk paint I like to scuff up the surface by sanding it. This will create a porous surface for the paint to adhere to.
Now if you were going for more of a shabby look 1 or 2 coats may work for you but with this piece I was looking for consistent overall paint coverage. This required 3 coats. Luckily chalk paint usually dries fast.
Another curbside rescue and it only took a few hours. So think twice before putting something out at the curb or don't be afraid to make that U turn if something catches your eye. Any passenger in my car should know that their will be a detour if I catch something curbside that catches my eye. http://bit.ly/endtable
