Making one more row of blogs.

                Objective:  We have had this piece of furniture for about 13 years and have always loved it.  Since we moved in our home it has been in the same spot and though it works and looks great, the beautiful features have never really stood out because the whole table completely blends in with the floor as they are the same color.  So Ive been wanting to paint it for years.  The top is beautiful and in great shape so Im not wanting to touch it.  The table also has some pretty details that I am going to leave unpainted as well as the legs.  I am going to go…

Magnolia chalk paint is different from other lines of chalk, mineral or milk paint as it comes in a quart size can and it is not pre-pigmented so you choose…
