Amazing what a little ASCP in duck egg blue will do! I bought this table from Target 3 years ago when my little man graduated to a big boy bed. The table was navy blue to begin with so all I did was apply one coat of ASCP in duck egg blue. Once dry, I took a fine sanding block and did a little distressing. This was my first go of it using chalk paint & I will say, I was freaking out because it looks REALLY bad wet….very streaky! BUT sure enough, it dried to a really cool matte finish. Barely NO streaks. It distressed SO easily! EASY PEASY! This is the before:
Being a beginner with this painting furniture “thing”, I decided to buy Shaunna’s painting furniture eBook over at Perfectly Imperfect and I am SO glad I did 
! Her Ebook has so many great ideas, techniques & great “how to” video’s! I highly recommend you go check it out!
PS. new blog design & name change coming soon! I love my name “nucheysmommy” but wanted the name to be geared more towards our family of 4 generations living under 1 roof. We do so many projects together while living together….. I thought it would be fun for the blog name to reflect that 🙂
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Linking up to these parties!

Did you paint that piece indoors? And did you apply a top coat as well?
