I decided to try just regular paint in lieu of Chalk Paint.

I love the Shellac look and still going to put on two more coats.

  • Before--she was pretty scratched up so I sanded the top down to the bare wood.
  • Sanded, primed, and gave her two coats of the neutral beige.
  • I highlighted the details with a pretty cream and then glazed around them.
  • Added the poem to the top and...
  • voila!  Love her new look! :)
