I combined Unicorn Spit and Annie Sloan chalk paint to give this Hallway Table a new look.

I saw this Hallway Table advertised online, it was originally covered with black stain. I sanded it smooth and covered some small cracks with timber mate water based wood filler. When the filler was hard I sanded it level with the timber.

I wanted to give the top a unique look with the intention of painting the remainder of the table to match the top. I sealed off the top with painters tape and A4 paper. (It is what I had readily available)

I painted the top with 2 coats of Annie Sloan Emperors Silk chalk paint, sanding each coat with 400 grit sand paper.

I used Unicorn Spit, Midnight Blackness and Molly Red Pepper and randomly spread it over the top squeezing it from the bottle. I sprayed the top with water from a spay bottle and placed a piece of plastic over the top . I blended the Unicorn Spit by running the palm of my hand horizontally along the table until I was satisfied with the coverage.

I peeled the plastic off, starting from one end of the table to the other.

Happy with the look I sealed the top with two coats of polyurethane.

I covered the top and painted the body with two coats of Annie Sloan Emperors Silk Chalk paint, Sanding each coat with 400 grit sand paper.

I wanted the draw face to match the top of the Hallway Table. I removed the brass draw knob and sanded the black stain off the draw face. I painted it with two coats Annie Sloan Emperors silk and randomly added Unicorn Spit Midnight Blackness and Molly Red Pepper as I had done for the top. I sprayed the unicorn spit with water from a spray bottle before getting a piece of plastic and placing it over the unicorn spit. I used the palm of my hand to blend the Unicorn Spit as I had on the top.
