A Frenchy (?) End Table Makeover

This is the week. The last week, that is. If I'm alive on Wednesday, then all will be right with the world.

A few quick things:

1. I officially pulled my first thing off the curb. I'm a little embarrassed... but it's solid wood and has dovetailed drawers. I love it. I'll share it with you later this week!

2. I painted a couple different things with chalk board paint over the weekend and I'm waiting the 3 days until I can draw on them. It's driving me crazy! But I can't wait to show you :)

3. Just a couple days until we announce the winner of your first ever giveaway! Don't forget to enter-you have a great chance of winning!

On to the makeover! I got this end table (thanks to my awesome boyfriend) at the same time as this one.

I think my sister's exact words were, "I'm excited to see what you're going to do to this one because it's really ugly."

I loved her little feet and she was solid. And I'm always up for a challenge.

I primed her and gave her two coats of Martha Stewart's Heavy Cream. The top ended up needing an extra coat.

It seemed a little boring to me and I thought the detail of the piece would be perfect for a little two-tone action.

I mixed a little Winter's Day with the white to get a really light gray. I wanted it to be a subtle difference.

I distressed it lightly and she's still waiting to get a coat or two of protective wax.

Sorry for the drawer nudity. She's missing her drawer pull. It was out in the garage somewhere and I was in a hurry!

I love the way she turned out. I think Kait might even be impressed.

How do you feel about the two-tone look? Yay or nay?

Sincerely,
Ashleigh
