Drum Table DIY chalk paint re-do
by
Mary Insana
A while back I posted pictures of a couple of tables I bought from Craigs list for $10 each. I painted the "drum table" as I call it. I started by making chalk paint out of a color called summer white, which is a very very pale green, in fact I've been using that color as my white base on everything I want to use white chalk paint on. I stenciled on the doors and the top then very lightly dry brushed and wiped away with the same green I used to stencil. I then distressed and then clear waxed. The table came with a glass top so I put it back on to protect the finish.
I also painted the inside with the green color but didn't take a picture before I loaded it up with magazines.

It hard to see here but I did paint the very bottom green

Reflection of glass makes it a little hard to see the shading from the green dry brush and wiping away
