Table & Mirror Makeover

I found this little side table on Kijiji for $10!  All she needed was a little paint and some TLC.  Here is the before shot:
I painted it using my homemade chalk recipe.  I used a blue/green, dark grey, and an antique white.  After the paint dried, I sanded it, then waxed it using Mini Wax Paste finishing wax.  Here is the after:
 





So cute eh? I went a bit heavy on the sanding on purpose.  I'm a lover of all things French Country :)
The Lamp is a goodwill find that I spray painted and changed the fabric on the shade.

I've had this Mirror for years.  It started out as gold, then I painted it black.  The black doesn't really go with anything in our new house.  Here is the Before:



So I just used the same blue/green chalk paint that I used on the table. Here it is now:

Much better :)

Happy DIYing!
