I'm back to share a makeover I finished a couple of weeks ago. Two posts in as many days... unheard of from me! I guess that what happens when the weather is wild and wintery and you're housebound :)
This gorgeous half-moon table belongs to a lovely client who asked me to give it a much needed makeover. Her hubby couldn’t quite see the potential and why she loves it... but hopefully after a makeover he’ll “get it” ;)
I absolutely love the shape of this old piece, it has buckets of character and as soon as I saw it I knew it would come up a treat.

Before…
He was in pretty bad shape, the top had two large holes all the way through and many layers of peeling paint.
As soon as he was dropped off I got started stripping the top back and repairing the holes.
Once he was all prepped, a horrid messy job, I gave him a good sand all over and undercoated him. Then he was ready for some colour... going for a fresh Coastal look, I mixed up a beautiful shade of pale blue and gave him two coats. Then took to him with some fine and medium grade sandpaper. I finished him off with some gorgeous Annie Sloan clear wax.
Absolutely gorgeous Jo! Your projects are so inspiring. I have some chalk paint on its way to me this week. Can't wait to bust out the paint brushes over the long weekend! Kate x
