"Brit Beach" Union Jack Chalk Paint Coffee Table
This is my first piece using chalk paint.....and I LOVE chalk paint! I used Annie Sloan and now I can't wait to jump to the next project. It even works well on metal, so GadgetSponge fans know what that means for me!
This table was given to me by a great friend. It had a bad leg and needed some TLC. I repaired the leg and used paint stir sticks to make a makeshift "slatboard" surface. First, I painted the whole piece in an off-white from AS and then I masked off the union jack design and went to town with the paint. I went on great and the tape came up great off the chalk paint. The next to last step was going to town on the distressing -- my favorite part. After it was all done I gave it some clear wax and then the dark wax for aging. Buffed and done!
