DIY: $20 Chalk-Painted End Tables

DIY: $20 Chalk-Painted End Tables

15 comments
After the magic that happened with the dresser that I chalk painted, it boosted my confidence to paint more recycled furniture. There's something so fun about taking something that's a little outdated and making it into something completely your own. 

I'm almost finished with the "closet room" aka the bedroom I've turned into a walk-in closet. I've also finished decorating the home-office. So my next project is the guest bedroom and guest bath. To start on the guest bedroom, I found these dated end tables on a Facebook yard sale site for $10 each. Since I already had the paint, this project was only $20 for two new side tables for the guest bedroom. 



These are the two end tables that were $10 each. I saw potential in them because of the design in the front that I knew would be beautiful if painted white. The tables weren't real wood, they are the fake stuff so I didn't really care about painting them. 


I loved the original hardware, the design in the drawers, and there were two of them in really good shape for a fantastic price! 


I used the Rustoleum's Chalk Paint again in the Linen White and then applied two coats of the protective top coat. It's really SO easy to use. 



After painting the drawers, I knew these side tables were going to be gorgeous in white. 


This is the final product! Just like I had imagined, two beautiful side tables for the guest bedroom! 


Not only did I get each table for $10, I found two matching lamps for $10 each as well. That brings the end tables and both lamps for the guest bedroom for a total of $40! 


Here's a preview of the guest bedroom. The bedding is a little dated, there's currently no headboard, and I really want to update the size of the mattress. All in due time and all within a budget of ... well not much.

  10. These turned out absolutely gorgeous! I have a couple of antique pieces that I hate in my house, but they might benefit from a few coats of white paint.
