I had bought this Ikea children's table from Goodwill a while ago. It looked like this before.
Boring & zilch amounts of character. Plus mine was a tad more beat up.
So I turned it into this.
I spray painted the table Heirloom White, and the chairs Coral Isle by Krylon.
Then I painted the top of it with chalkboard paint for my artistic toddler.
I like chalkboard a lot for kids because they can draw to their hearts content & when I have my back turned and she decides to take her art to the wall [of course, I would never leave her unattended like while I craft, sew, or am in the garage riiiiiiiiiight.] But anyways, if something like that would happen then I can just wipe it off with a rag instead of scrubbing. Life saver I'm tellin ya, oh &I don't have to buy coloring books.
Plus it's a lot cuter than scribbled on paper.
Anyways, what do ya think? I really love how it turned out.
