Chalk Paint Love and Wow Us Wednesdays #9

I went to a small antique/flea market last week on the hunt for a small table and found this one. This is an old table made of solid wood and a dovetailed drawer. The booth owner was moving from one booth to another and I showed up at the right time. Yes, I paint on my table.

 She was asking $40 for it and came down to $30 in hopes that I would buy it so she wouldn't have to make it work in her new booth. Why yes, I will take it! Thank you.

I ordered some of this chalk paint in Old Ochre and can I just say LOVE IT ! No sanding, no priming, no nothing. Just start painting.

This is what the table looked like after two coats of the paint and then it was waxed with clear wax. I used my Minwax paste wax that I already had. I will probably order some of the wax that Miss Mustard Seed recommends. I wanted to see if I liked the chalk paint first before sinking any more money into the other products.

This photo shows what the paint looks like after I started adding the brown wax. After this step I used the clear wax again which takes some of the dark wax back off.

Here is the finished look. I took these outside so the light would be good.

I decided to leave the top in its original finish. 

Now I just need to decide on a new color to try.

O.K. now it is your turn to show us your WOWS.
