Blending Technique Furniture Rescue

Some people rescue pets at the SPCA, I rescue furniture at thrift stores.

I needed a side table to go in front of my window and found a perfect table for $20. Instead of painting it just one color, I did a blending technique that turned out really cute.

This table was exactly what I was looking for. It just needed a little TLC.

Watch my step by step video to see how I created this blending technique using three different color chalk paints.

To give it that beachy look, I also make my own hardware out of a shell.
