Kate!!!!!!!! My sister has this exact table in her front hall. It so needs updating (looks more like an apartment table) and I told her about the chalk paint and your insanely awesome ideas!!!! We are planning on attending an Annie Sloan workshop next month. Will keep you posted. You are the best.

I am going to be doing a coffee table and end tables from my living room in the “Old White” chalk paint as soon as it arrives. I also ordered the wax so I hope they turn out. They are a basic dark wood, some type of laminate, not real wood for sure. They were not expensive to start with so I really don’t have much to lose. I want to distress them a little but can’t sand down because of the fact they are not real wood. Can I just basically wipe off the chalk paint at some of the edges
Sherida…I ordered the AS Chalk Paint from The Melon Patch online. Check them out. It’s not cheap but if you can re-do three table for a living room for $45.00 I think it’s not to bad.

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with your blog since I stumbled upon it a few days ago. It’s sooo informative and in a really fun and inspiring way. I went out today and made the drive up to Malibu to a stockist and bought my first Annie Sloan Chalkpaint in Old White and the Wax in Clear. I got so excited that I raced back and painted an old wooden jewelry box as a test run for my bedroom furniture and I LOVE IT!!!

You’re right, it’s quite pricey. But it’s SO WORTH IT that I don’t have to sand and prime, or lug my furniture down three flights of stairs to the garage for a few days. After I’m done painting everything in Old White, I’m going to go back and get the Paris Grey for accent pieces and my accent wall.

Thanks for your blogs… they are so inspiring!!
