You're not seeing things...it's another dining room post. Remember this table? It's a good country French reproduction solid wood table I found on Craigslist. Pretty, curvy, big. But I wanted white!
It's been painted Pure White with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, sanded and waxed and now it looks like this:
I also added four Henriksdal slip covered chairs from Ikea. They're really comfy and reasonably priced. I love how Ikea's designs work so well with a vintage cottage look. It has saved me so much money to get the look I want.
If you're looking for something specific from Craigslist, don't forget about the Garage Sale category. I searched for "dining tables" in Garage Sales and this popped up the night before the sale with a phone number. Sometimes things just work out. Now, if I could just find my car keys....


Becki! Your photos are magazine quality, and the painted table is such a great change - the details show much better in white!
ReplyDeleteDid you use a house painter, furniture painter or did you paint it yourself?
Cheers!
Hi Linda, what a nice thing to say...you made my day!
ReplyDeleteI painted the table myself with a 3" brush I bought from the Annie Sloan dealer. I'm really loving the look!

DeleteHi. I love your table! Did you use Annie Sloan paint? Did you use dark and clear wax? I am just getting started using this paint and I just tried to use the dark wax and it turned out horrible. I'm not sure what I did wrong...
