So, this is second project usong the free furniture my mom picked up for me at a church garage sale. This side table was in need of some tlc but was nice and heavy duty. I ended up going back to the products I love from Walmart. Chalk paint and wax. Then picked up a new knob for the drawer from Home Depot. I spent under $10 to create this great a great piece of furniture for my spare bedroom.
Super easy and low risk. Paint and wax is very forgiving. Try it... you will not be disappointed!
Gather all supplies. Dollar store paint brushes, chalk paint and white wash wax from Walmart.

Removed old style knob and then painted with grey chalk paint.

Gathered white wash wax.
Apply white wax thinly with paint brush.
Then use a cotton cloth to wipe off the white wax. Use a light touch when removing so the chalk paint does not rub off.
Finished table after wax applied.

Added the $1 knob from Home Depot. Finished project painted and updated. Love this new look of this table!
