Large Coffee Table Transformation

We used this matte cottage white paint to make our chalk paint. We found the recipe we use on Pinterest. We tried a couple recipes with varying ingredients until we came upon the one with calcium carbonate. We like it best. One thing we found that helps the most is to mix the water and calcium carbonate together first THEN add the paint in. It makes it “smoother” if that makes sense.

The unevenness on the top made it pop when it was sanded down. We used 120 grit sandpaper to do this.

Same with the legs.

Those bulky legs are just so awesome.

This is the poly acrylic that we used to seal the table. We put two coats on the entire piece.

Oh it turned out so good.

We just love it! Hope you think so too!
