Playful Colors for Kids

BEFORE:

Hi guys! Heidi here from Lily Field Furniture Co. I have a fun makeover for you today!

One of my clients was gifted this kids table set and contacted me to update the look for her kiddos.

To prep the furniture I cleaned it with mineral spirits. With kids furniture you never know what gunk is caked on and it’s better to do a little extra prep up front. After cleaning I lightly sanded with 120 grit sandpaper just to take a little of the shine off.

For the color, we decided to use Vanilla Frosting for the table legs and a chalkboard finish for the top. We decided to use a fun pop of color on the chairs and Devotion was the perfect choice! I just love how it turned out!

This is SO cool and the kids are gonna love just using the table as a slate board and NOT to worry. Love the idea!! I like the table outfit they were gifted and the pretty pink you chose.
