Painted Coffee Table inspired by Tonya Miller Dean|Hemets 1964 coffee table
I was looking around Hometalk and saw a beautiful coffee table that was posted by Tonya Dean Hemet and I was inspired. I wanted to do something similar but didn't have a similar coffee table to paint. Enter Craigs List and a $10 coffee table. See for yourself what a transformation with some distressed homemade chalk paint and poly stain on top.
Thanks Tonya for giving me the idea for this table :)

Mary Insanaon Aug 25, 2019I used antique white. Get a bottle of antique white chalk paint from Walmart. Fast, easy and cheap. If you need any help, contact me.

Have a question about this project?
Flat
Can you cover a full body chaise lounger by first spraying with adhesive & then applying fabric over it...what type of sealant could be used to preserve it after fabric is applied?
This question has nothing to do with my painted coffee table but I’ll,try tomanswer it for you.
I wouldn’t try to upholster using spray adhesive unless it’s a very small project with straight lines and flat surfaces. When you use spray adhesive you don’t need to seal it unless you’re doing decoupage. Hope this helps
