Industrial Chic Coffee Table

Hey everyone!!  I hope you had a great 4th of July weekend!  I know we did!  We went to my parents' lakehouse in Livingston, TX.  It is one of my favorite places in the world!  Here is a picture of the view from their porch...

What's not to love???  So anyway...I want to show you a coffee table makeover.  This is a table that my husband built years ago. We have had it in different houses and apartments along the way.  I was looking at it one day and decided that we needed to shabby it up.  So we painted it, distressed it, and then put it up on casters to give it that industrial feel.  I LOVE how it turned out!!!!  It has so much more character now!  I almost hate to sell it!  Almost...

So whatcha think???

Louis Blue Bench

Hey again!  I have another great Chalk Paint makeover to show you!  We started with this cute, but plain bench.  A great couple that we met at Roundtop GAVE it to us!!  They are amazing people and were such a pleasure to get to know.  Anyway, here is the before picture... Sorry for the horrible picture, but this is the only one that I could find!!

It was a cute bench, but it desperately needed a paint job!  I decided to try the Louis Blue Chalk Paint.

We also decided to add some batting and burlap to give it a little more character.  Here she is now...

Have you tried Annie Sloan's chalk paint yet??  What colors have you tried?



Happy 4th of July!!!  I hope you are enjoying time with your family and friends!
