Coastal Side Table- A Thrifty Make-over

What says "beachy" more than that aged turquoise blue 

combined with a shabby style white wash?

 I am always drawn to these summer colors and

until now I never knew how to achieve that look in furniture.

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint makes it simple.

I saw this cute end table at a local re-sale store. 

{it did not look very cute then, but I saw its potential}

Here's is what this table looked like before:

 A worn thrift store bargain begging to be made beautiful.

 No sanding, no prepping--

just a quick coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (R) in Old White

Followed by a coat of Duck Egg Blue on the top.

 Using painters tape--I taped off a square on the top,
over the dry Old White 

before I applied the blue coat.

Once dry I removed the tape, 

and gently sanded with super fine paper

 on the legs which brought out the wood underneath...

 Then I sealed with Annie Sloan Clear wax and buffed.

Voila! a great coastal shabby chic side table!

You'll never look at worn out furniture the same way again!
