many of you have read about our ‘zero to hero’ coffee table. if not, you can read about it here.
it’s been 5 months since i refinished this piece to have a restoration hardware weathered wood finish. i used annie sloan’s chalk paint. how much do i love that stuff? i bought 4 quarts, have painted just about everything we own, and still have plenty left!
we put this coffee table into rotation about 4 months ago and it’s faring very well.
i’d be lying if i said the great room looked like tidy in real life….as evidenced by the finger prints on the lantern!
restoration hardware wood finish with annie sloan chalk paint
lil G plays cars on this coffee table every day. the chalk paint has held up very well!
as you can see here, lil G is just getting started with his day….by noon, the cars have taken over! and look at those cute tiny finger prints on the lantern? that’s where the cars go for timeout. 🙂
weathered wood 'zero to hero' coffee table has taken a beating....
the kids sit on the table, we put hot foods and drinks on it, we race Hot Wheels every day…and the chalk paint just keeps doing its job. a few more scratches, but that’s the look we want for this table, and why we chose not to spend big money on a new table….
Hot Wheels are a great way to distress a table! 🙂
i love the tiny scratches!!!
