Hey Y'all! Last summer, I bought 2 tables at yard sales with the intention of painting them and...never actually got around to it! That is, until NOW! Yep, in the last month I've refinished 3 tables! WOOT!
Here's the first one for you. Oh and by the way, I'm an AWESOME blogger and didn't take a "before" picture for you.

But use your imagination, this one was a hideous lacquer 70's 2 layer beast beauty. I paid a whooping $2 for it. It was in pretty good shape, that lacquer is apparently some durable stuff! But it was ugly!
Using my Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White I painted the table. It covered that lacquer like a champ!
Then I decided it needed to be a little more fun, so I drew on a harlequin pattern, and taped it off using my Scotch Blue Painters Tape! And painted it with Annie Sloan in Provence.
I sanded the pattern a little bit to give it a tiny bit of distressed look, but I didn't sand the legs or any other areas. So, what do you think?

Oh my gosh I love it!! I recently saw a table like that at my fave thrift store and I passed it up, it was older and not a good color and ... it didn't cross my mind to repaint it. You did a great job!!
Wow! I love this!

I have a table just like this one (the before version) that I have never really liked. Maybe I should do give it a makeover. Yours turned out awesome!!
It turned out awesome Heidi! Love your color choice! Great job girlie!
