I purchased this little drop leaf side table and wanted to make it pretty

Time: 7 Days Cost: $40 Difficulty: Advanced

• 

This is the before picture when I started to sand it, very dark and very plain

• 

This is where I started to paint the bottom using home made chalk paint I then used some dark brown paint to antique it using a chip brush then sanded all the areas I did this on the bottom with fine sand paper to even out the antiquing and to make it very smooth

• 

I used freezer paper and made a piece the exact size of the table then started placing the images I wanted to use on it and taped them in place once I got the placement, then traced them onto the freezer paper so I could easily trace it onto the table

• 

I hand painted all the images using acrylic paints

• 

Stained and painted top, I used a walnut stain on the top of the table

• 

This is the front of the table showing the antique white, I thought it looked good being a two tone

• 

This is the completed table, I tried to show off the two tone but had a hard time with the picture for some reason
