I spent all last Friday going to garage sales with my sister. I found this cute drop leaf table for $10! As soon as I saw it I knew what I wanted to do to it and exactly where it was going to go.
I lightly sanded the table with 120 grit sand paper and cleaned it from all the dust.
I purchased some milk paint in tuxedo from Absolute Vintage here in Wichita (they have an etsy store if you want to purchase some too!)
(The milk paint is on the left) It is super easy to use you just add the amount of water on the package, shake, wait 20 minutes, shake and use!
Here is the table after it is painted. The next step is to take 220 grit sand paper (I forgot to take a picture of the next 2 steps but hey this is my first tutorial I'm still learning) to distress the table. Then I covered it with the furniture wax also bought from Absolute vintage. I just used the clear wax but it also comes in a darker shade.
For less than $20 I have this new piece of furniture for my house.
The large M on the table was a wooden letter that I finished with milk paint a while ago.
I have enough milk paint left in the jar to paint a few picture frames, so none of it will go to waste!
