It's gorgeous Nancy!! What a great find! -
This is stunning! -
I love it! Five bucks...makes it all the better. :) -
Wow! That ended up being a great find - it looks gorgeous! -
Thank you all, yes it was a great find!! I usually wait until my fav furniture thrift store marks down to the final price (they mark down 3 times) . Sometimes it works! And sometimes I lose out. ;) But when it works it's a fantastic deal. -
Simply gorgeous ... you did an amazing job! Don't you just love chalk paint. :) -
stunning i just love finding thrift store finds -
Thank you! Yes, I do love chalk paint!! Very much. ;)
-
Thanks....thrift stores are just treasure chests waiting to be uncovered! I always find something
-
love the detail! -
Thanks, me too! and it was mostly lost until I painted and distressed it! (which is usually the case with great detail in wood)
-
I am so in love with that combination! Great find and a great job! -
Thanks Tami! It's one of my fav combos too!

What is chalk paint? -
Hi! Chalk Paint is another type of paint to paint with! You can make chalkboards with it also as it has those qualities. You have to seal it in some way for use with furniture. I use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

Black walnut and a little "expresso." Sorry to bother again. Is that a Poly Miniwax color or literally expresso? (sp)
-
Sorry! I used a product called Minwax PolyShades. It's a poly and stain in one. The colors I used (mixed) to come up with the color for the table top is called "Antique Walnut" & "Espresso". They are the names of the Polyshades I chose. I've updated my blog post to better explain it! You can click the link and take a look. :)

Love this transformation. I think I have a table just like that in my stash waiting to be painted! I love your blog...am your newest follower. -
Hi, Nancy love the transformation on this table. I'm glad I found you on home talk. Have a great weekend and stay warm. -
Well...that's that. $40.00 a gallon----$24.00 a quart. Cost-prohibitive for me.
