This table came out so well! It's by far the most distressed piece I've ever made. Here is the before:
And after, again!
As y'all saw, I did a couple of pieces with some home made chalk paint. Chalk paint is supposed to be really easy to distress, but I found that this table was easier than the ones that I used chalk paint on.
Because I was going black, I used Krylon's paint and primer in one. Also, because I didn't have any grey primer handy. ;)
This stuff came off so easily when I was distressing it! The main difference I noticed is on the flat surfaces. With the chalk paint it wasn't really coming off very well, except for on the edges. However, the 2 in 1 came off readily.
Since it did distress so easily, I made sure to coat the whole table with some wax. I would have used my polycrylic that I love so much, but I wanted the table to have less of a glossy finish - so I went with the wax.
See how to make those bats here!

P.S. sorry again for the photos - still working with only my cell phone. I need to hurry and decide what camera I want so I can get it!
