Pale Blue Hall Table/Desk and Coffee Table

I haven't restyled any furniture is such a long time, so today I have 2 new pieces for you.

A matching coffee table and a hall table/desk.

Here is the hall table, just as I was starting to paint it. Hehe. I always forget the before photo. 

And here it is finished. 

I applied 2 coats of chalk paint in a gorgeous shade of pale blue (same as our kitchen cabinets in fact).

Then I hand sanded it, taking extra care to lightly distress the edges.

And sealed it with 2 coats of clear varnish.

You can also add a chair and use it as a small writing or laptop desk.

 

 I used the same pale blue chalk paint for the coffee table.  

(Sorry, no before photo but it was a similar shade of wood as the hall table.)

 And distressed the edges lightly.

I love the original dents and scratches that showed through.

And that is my matching hall table/desk and coffee table.
