Welcome to my latest project!!
I have this old, chipped and boring table that I was going to throw out as I didn't have a need for it. I used it for a silly amount of time as a laptop table, was only meant to be a temporary thing until I brought a proper one but I didn't seem to get around to doing that, but finally I did get one.
The time came to throw it out and my partner said "are you sure you can't use it for something else?", then I thought "Yes! I could paint it white. Shabby Chic themed."

| Before! |
This is what the table looked like before it's makeover, as you can see it's old, ugly, boring and chipped all over the place and in need for some TLC.

| First Coat |
Picture taken just after first layer of paint. You can see it was still chipped and the original colour was coming through in places. I lifted it to dry over night before putting the next coat of paint on.
The paint I use was the Wilkinson Matt Emulsion in just standard white.

| The Turn Out |

| Turn Out Close Up |
It turned out great! It's like a brand new table, all the chips have gone, it doesn't look old and depressing like it did before.
It's amazing how you can bring back a table life with just a lick of paint and make it look modern and sleek.
Think before you go throwing out your old furniture on how to make it look better and giving it a new life.
Thanks for Looking...
