I've been waiting to share my little table for a few weeks, since my camera was messed up.
I forgot to take before pictures, it was black and was damaged pretty badly.
I used gorilla glue on some parts that were lifting and there was water damage on top.

Here it is after a two coats of ASCP in Chateau grey. (my favorite)
I also used clear and dark wax. I love the dark wax, it gives it a whole new look!
It sits on the wall in the hall right outside the kitchen.
Rooster lamp was from a local interior design store at their annual sale.

See the side of the table on the top. It was severely damaged, I couldn't fix it so I just pulled the sides off.
Maybe when my husband gets home he can fix it for me.
A few of my cookbooks! <3
The lance jar was something my husband found while picking.
It is one of my favorite things.
For now I've got our hot chocolate and marshmallows in it.

It turned out fabulously, Michele! Chateaux Grey was a perfect choice (and a fave of mine, too)! Love the vignette on top ... cute lamp!
It turned out great Michele! I have that exact same rooster lamp!!

Your little table redo looks awesome! I love the color. I haven't used the Chateaux Grey yet. The vignette on top looks great and I LOVE your lamp!!!
Enjoy your day,
Gail
Michelle, I am still using my Chateau Gray. It is the prettiest green. I don't know why it is called gray. Your table looks great.
Looks really good! I'm lovin your aprons!
I love your little table... and I love the way you are using it. You did a great job...very impressive!
I love it! That is one of my favorite colors of chalk paint. I still need to try it myself. I really like how you styled your table with things for the kitchen too.
Course its perfectly cute! I see your Italian country cookbook I'm thinking I will look it up does it have simple recipes? Italians my favorite!Love that rusty top on the jar.
Now, Michelle, this table is just adorable. Looks so good in that color and with the roo lamp and the vintage jar, full of hot chocolate and marshmallows...it's all just so cute.
You have awesome taste...and I really want those buffalo check curtains!!:)
Seems we like about the same things...
and I've been meaning to say how thrilled I am that you are a cancer survivor. My daughter in law had cervical cancer, surgery and is doing fine now. She was older than you, tho. So glad you are getting good checkups. :))

Michele,
your table turned out amazing! Love the color and you'd never know
there was anything wrong with it!
Rooster lamp, very cute, using it for your cookbooks, perfect! I see you have the Better Homes and Gardens CB. I found 3 vintage ones and gave one to Kate when she got her 1st apt and then gave 1 to Aaron when he got his apt in NC. I have 1 left for when Chris (his older brother) moves out. I have mine from when I was 20.

PS. Aaron is still here and waiting. Soon.
MIchele, the table turned out great. Love the Chateaux Grey color you chose, I haven't tried this color yet. Your tabletop vignette is just perfect. I really want a rooster lamp but can't seem to find one anywhere.
Marianne :)
Such a cute table. I love little accent tables..and you did a great job on it..
Michele- You did a good job on that little table. It looks really nice all set up and prettified! I really love it. I want to see that ruffled apron up close! That is just darling! xo Diana
Michele I love it!! The color looks great and the detail from the dark glaze adds a lot of character. I can't say enough how much I drool over that rooster lamp! Great spot for your cook books too. Hope your having a good evening,
Rachel~
Your new/old table looks fantastic!!! I've never tried that chalk paint but everyone is raving about it!
Love the roo lamp Michele! I had a Lance jar years ago but broke it:(
I felt really bad because they are old and not cheap at the antique stores!
Love your table and the color is great, love it with all your cookbooks on it!

Hi Michelle, Your table looks wonderful! Love the color...and that wax just finished it off. Thanks so much for your sweet comments on the kitchen! Yes,I will be making more rooster arrangements. Things have been hectic lately, but I will be restocking my store with all kinds of new items soon. I will let you know when I get some arrangements made. Kristen
love it! Don't ya just get so annoyed at yourself when you forget a before? I always do that! This table would be PERFECT to share over at my first ever Trash To Treasure Tuesday link party!!! I would just love it if you came on over to Kammy's Korner and shared it, and anything else that you turned into a treasure! http://kammyskorner.blogspot.com/2011/10/trash-to-treasure-tuesday-link-party-1.html
Michele, great job on the table!! I don't have that color paint, but I really like it. It's also fun seeing what cookbooks you have.
I just nominated you for the Versatile Bloggers award! You can check out all the details on my blog.
Hi Michele...
My friend, your little table turned out sooo beautiful! Ohh...I have been wanting to try the ASCP in the chateau gray for some time now. Adding the dark wax really does give the piece a different look doesn't it! I love it!
Well dear lady, your newly refinished table looks fabulous all decorated! Love your rooster lamp! You have a sweet collection of recipe books! Thank you for sharing your new beauty with us...I love it!
I wanted to swing by to say thank you for your visit yesterday! I soo enjoyed your sweet note, my friend! And....yes...that is a pheasant in the dough bowl!
Warmest autumn wishes,
Chari
Michele it's wonderful! Isn't paint like the best thing on the planet? I always see little wooden tables and want to take them ALL home and redo them ALL, but a girl only has sooo much space lol
~~Wendy
Love how it turned out! I will be putting Chateaux Grey on my list, for sure! I'm a new follower visiting from Debbiedoo's newbie party!
I really must try some of that chalkpaint. That grey looks gorgeous.I have a collection of Lance cookie jars. I don't have them out because I have so little space. But yours looks so cute on your newly done table.
Love that color and I adore the table and vignette. Cute jar too. Thanks so much Michele for joining my newbie party. I am glad you finally used the chalk paint. The other day I bought a regular can of paint and I could not use it. I can't believe I feel that way, and perhaps it was the cheap brand I bought. I am spoiled and thought I would never buy another can of chalk paint because of the price. I am changing my feeling on that, and will buy more in the future.
The table turned out great. I to love the dark wax, I have pieces done in the same color but they appear different after the dark wax. Visiting for WOW!
Love the color and detail on this sweet table!
What a darling little table...she looks great after her makeover. Come over and share her at my party...hope to see ya there:)
Blessings,
Linda

Chateau Grey is my fave color too. I just got a sample of Olive and I can't wait to try it out.
