So Mark found this little table and called me about it. It’s a Lane table, so really nice solid wood. BUT it had a wood laminate top. Not veneer…LAMINATE. Really! I’m not sure if laminate top tables were in style in the 70’s or something.

The top put me off from having him buy it, but a few days later he was back, and it was half off. So I figured why not. I had no idea what I was going to do with the laminate and I wasn’t sure how paint would do.

Then it hit me…chalkboard paint!

But I wasn’t sure how the chalkboard paint would look with the wood. It still seemed off. That’s when I started looking at Pinterest and blogs on rehabbing furniture and it all began to come together. And now my obsession has started and I have a garage full of furniture projects.

Here she is all done….and already sold to a friend who is going to use it in her new scrapbook room. What fun!
