Intro: Shabby Chic Side Table

Do you some dark furniture you want to give a make over? Shabby chic is a fun and easy way bringing some brightness and creativity into your house.

What you will need:

Table, or some sort of furniture

Sandpaper, 80 and 120 grit

Home decor collection matt Chalk acrylic paint

Paint brush

STEP 1: Sanding

Start with the 80 grit sandpaper as it is rougher and will get most of the varnish of easily and get sanding, once the varnish is mostly off change to the 120 grit and get the last bit of varnish off and make the table smooth.

STEP 2: Painting

Now it is time for the fun part, painting. Get you chalk paint and prepare it how it says on the bottle. The home decor collection is already premixed which is why I like using this one. To achieve the look I wanted I did three coats. Wait half an hour between each coat to allow to dry properly

STEP 3: Shabby Chic

To get the shabby chic look grab the 120 grit sand paper and sand the corners and edges to add a distress look to the piece
