Side Table Makeover with Chalk Spray Paint

SIMPLE SIDE TABLE MAKEOVER WITH CHALK SPRAY PAINT AND ANTIQUE GLAZE.

Chalk paint is amazing stuff! I mean, no sanding? YEAH!!!!!

So I decided to try out the spray paint version. I wasn’t crazy about the coverage but I had other plans for this project.

It was a beautiful day and I didn’t want to get spray paint all over the garage so I took this adventure outside.

Using Behr’s chalk spray paint in Gingham, I sprayed 3 coats, waiting one hour between each coat.

Like I said, I wasn’t crazy about the coverage, but I didn’t need perfect with this project.

I have been wanting to try layering chalk paint, but I remembered that I have this antique glaze from a previous project. And that seemed more fitting for this project.

The glaze is super easy to use. An old rag dipped straight into the jar, then apply it right onto the project (in this case wood) over the paint. POOF!

I didn’t want too much of the glaze so I ended up wiping each spot off with a dry rag too.

After the glaze dried, I added a few layers of decorative wax and let that sit for a day.

Overall, I am happy with the look and can’t wait to put it in the front room. I can’t do that right now…..because someone’s reef tank has come in and has taken over the room……want to follow his journey? Check it out here.

I will update this post as soon as I have the room back…..

Happy Decorating,
