Chalk Paint

In addition to inheriting my coffee and side tables, I also inherited an end table! Which we desperately need. (Every morning I wake up to the sound of the remote or my boyfriend's cellphone flying off the bed and I pray that it isn't my phone or the iPad). So I decided to paint our side table. However, instead of your usual latex paint, I painted using chalk paint. I don't know if you've heard about it, but its a growing sensation, and I couldn't be happier to be a part of the learning process. 

I absolutely LOVE this table now. It has that very vintage, cottage look that I've been desperately trying to recreate with an extremely tight budget. This paint happened to be a little pricey (but hey, it was  Christmas present to myself!) I couldn't be more happy with my decision to use chalk paint. It was easier to apply, and I could paint indoors since it's very eco-friendly. Did I mention I am am in LOVE? Well, I will be posting more DIY crafts and updates to my home. Stay tuned! ;)
