Beachy Blue Makeover for and Old Pair

I was contacted by a lady to redo some of her furniture.  It was some stuff she had gotten when first married and has since upgraded her own set.  Still being in great shape she wanted a fresh new look for these dressers so she could still keep them and use them in her daughter's bedroom.  The little girl was thinking a "Beachy" look in a pretty shade of blue.  This is what I came up with.  Enjoy!

Just $150

I just love how this little table turned out but it didn't come easy!
I actually struggled with finishing this table & it sat for weeks half way done.  First of all it was in pieces and I had to glue & screw and basically rebuild the whole thing to stabilize it so it wasn't wobbly.  Nothing irritates me more than a shifty & wobbly table that has compromised joints.  So after doing that I decided to use a Chalk Paint colored in Duck Egg Blue.  I had just enough in a can that was left over from another project.  I painted it and yuck! .. I still wasn't happy with it and yet again it sat unfinished for another couple days while I got distracted working on another project.  After regrouping, I tackled the table again and thought.. I'll just paint it white, finish it and get this thing out of my house!  Ok, with that done I started the magic of sanding to distress it and was delighted when with pops of dusty blue emerged from underdeath. 

This table is just the right height to add 2 little chairs for a childs table. 
Tea Pary Anyone?

Drop Both sides and this table is an easy Side table for any Room!
