Repurposing old furniture

I have been meaning to revamp my daughters old table. I finally decided to take the plunge and repurpose it. I used Benjamin Moore chalkboard paint.

I put 3 coats but you can add more or less depending on the texture of the table. 

Prep the area where you'll be painting (I used plastic bags).  After each coat I allowed it to dry completely before applying more paint. Once dried I sprayed painted the legs pink ;)

This picture is before I applied the spray paint. 


This is the final piece. To make the space pop I added a faux fur rug (ikea), small chandelier (Walmart) and reupholstered pleather chairs made by me ;). 
This is a picture of the chair before (left) and after (right) i reupholstered it.





I had an amazing time coming up with this great creative space for my daughter. I can tell she loves it because she runs to her room everyday after school to do her homework in her new space. The chandelier gives it that chic look. My husband said it reminded him of a 
chateau, I'll take that as I did a good job!

I'd like to see your ideas so please share any comments or pictures below ;).
