A sad little gossip bench (or telephone table) got a sassy makeover with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and a pretty upholstered seat!
A friend gifted me with an old gossip bench - the top was scratched, the seat was cracked and ripped and the legs were pretty beat up. I decided to take the plunge and start my first furniture makeover EVER!
I started by removing the seat and reupholstered it with a pretty gray and white fabric. Then, I started the first coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Emperor's Silk ... such a gorgeous deep red color!
Once the coats of paint were dry, I added the wax to seal and protect the gossip bench. I loved seeing the color get a little more bold and deepen slightly!
I was absolutely THRILLED with the way she looked when she was done!
Though no one is sitting here to gossip, I can't wait to use this bold piece in our living room or bedroom!
Enjoyed the project?
