Chalk Painted Queen Anne End Tables Set.......

This was a end table or nightstands set I had for awhile. 

It had a piece of wood chipped off as shown in picture.  

We repaired it and put it up for sale as is....

but I pulled it off and painted it.

Here they are before.  UGLY!

Do not like those 4 set handles either.

It is dovetailed drawers and solid wood at that :)

Made by Lane...

I decided to paint it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...

I used Old Ochre.

I get some customers who ask if

 I do chalk paint. So I did this one to show my work in chalk paint.

I primed all of it except the tops...

Then I hand painted it all....

distressed the parts that would naturally age threw time..

darkened the creases on legs and drawers to give a aged look...

Stained the tops and added polycrylic to protect it...

.

I waxed everything else...

 Chalk paint is super thick!

I don't like that.  So I did my flat finish.

I sealed up all those hole in the drawers,

I didn't like those four handles on each drawer...

Then I added 2 french handles on each drawer.

I did a aged look on the handles...

LOVE My handles I did!!!

Here they are completed!

Way better than before!
