My Shabby Chic Project...

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

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...
