Before and after. This wasquite an easy one to do and I managed to get it done in a day.  I took it all apart which was thankfully quite easy to do! I painte the outside frame and 2 interior shelves in black chalkboard paint, so it can be used to add labels or just doodles. I love the chalkboard paint as well as it gives it a really nice matt finish. I painted the other shelves with white chalk paint -Rustoleum Chalk white. Waited for it to dry and and reassembled!

Small table with magazine rack

Another great charity shop find,and a bargain at £5. Again it was sanded down to remove the varnish then chalk painted all over. I used Rustoleum chalky finish furniture paint in Chalk white and Anthracite. I then waxed it all over using Rustoleum furniture finishing wax.  I Sold it within a few days for £20.

The legs were really nice natural wood when sanded so I decided to leave them as they were and just gave them a wax over.  The table when I purchased it.   Back of the table once sanded down   The front of the tale once sanded down   The finished table The finished table
