Back in June, I posted about some of my thrifty finds. A $9.00 table I happened to see at one of our many Goodwill stores. I’m happy to report that I finally conquered the side table makeover! Silly, I know… I mean its only a side table. However, it’s been a very busy summer. PLUS, I have the family joining us here in St. Louis for Thanksgiving, so I officially have to get to work on my to-do list before then {giggle}. I finally moved my thrifty find from the basement into the garage and made her look all pretty!
I decided to paint the table in one of my Annie Sloan colors: Versailles. I love it!
I did a couple of coats of paint, then did a little sanding to give it a little character. I also used some watered down brown acrylic paint to use along the trim to add a little dimension. Honestly, I think it made a world of difference. The final step was putting on a coat of the Annie Sloan Clear Wax, which is water repellent. Voila! She’s done and fabulous! I found the perfect spot in our Living Room and I couldn’t be happier. What do you think of my side table makeover?
Feeling inpsired? Ready to run out and hunt down some thrifty finds?
I’m ready to move onto another piece…. hmmm, what will it be?
I’ll be partying {here, here, here and here}.

Hi Mary

Adorable. I love how the chalk paint looks and turned out!
Thanks so much, Rachel!
The Versailles color is beautiful! I love how you used that napkin on top too, perfect finishing touch
And you can change it out later, so smart!
Thanks so much, Holly! I use napkins and placemats like a rotating door around my house… change is good, right? Hee Hee.
I love it! The color is really pretty and it’s cool that the table is water proof. To much of my stuff gets ruined because it’s not.
Thanks, Kendra! Yes, the water proofing is a HUGE bonus. Have a great week. Hugs!
