Sorry I haven't posted for awhile I just haven't been able to complete a project. I have about five projects started, just none of them are coming together.
I did get this little table finished because it was an easy project.
|
This is what the little table looked like when I first got it. The only repair I had to do was glue one of the legs. Someone had glued it in the past using hot glue and of course that didn't hold.

I applied one coat of DIY white chalk paint and let it rest overnight. I mix chalk paint using 2/3 paint, 1/3 Plaster of Paris, and a little bit of water.
|
|
I applied two coats of Valspar acrylic Robin's Egg Blue, then finished it off with one coat of wipe on poly.
|
|
This is one of the easiest projects I've worked on in a long time.
|
|
One reason I haven't completed projects lately is because of the heat. I do most of my major paint projects outside and the heat has been unbearable.

Glad to see you are back and creating pretty things from cast offs!
