In case you missed my before and after guest post over at Pure Style Home, here is my bedside table that I put a little elbow grease into.
Here is the hot mess before:
And during:
And the after:
I used a wood grain tool for the top and used gray paint mixed with glaze to get the right texture. The tool is not as hard to use as it looks- it takes some practice but its easy to get the hang of.
One project in the bedroom down, only 100 more to go. Which is always the case these days- projects just keep piling up.
I love the new top... very chic!
ReplyDeleteWow I haven't seen that type of finish before- it looks awesome! Would you be willing to do a tutorial?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI caught this post and was amazed. The table is so cool...I need one of those tools. Then my house would be covered with faux wood grain along with chalkboard paint!
