Mini Mint & Homemade Chalk Paint

I did it again!
I made some of my homemade
chalk paint & made a beat up little table
into a shabby chic minty treasure.
You can see my first adventure with my
homemade chalk paint {here}
but to be short, I love it, It’s great,
It works, & It’s cheap.
Keep reading for the super easy
DIY chalk paint recipe…

I love this little mint table so much. I think I just love everything
mint.. yah, maybe that’s it.

 I just re-did this table yesterday.. It was a pretty sad
mini table & I decided to refinish it with homemade
mint chalk paint. Here is what the little guy
looked like before…

Pretty sad & for some reason the people had the legs on
backwards? Not quite sure. haha, but here is the
after of this lovely mini mint table…

want to learn how to make this chalk paint that I love
O so much?? Here it is…

 There you have it.. Now of course you do not have to be
exact with it, and your measurements will vary sometimes,
but this recipe has never failed me.

When painting this table, It felt so small compared to other pieces
I have recently done, but when placing it next to my couch
it was the perfect little table…

I love doing a lighter color on top of such a dark finish
when the dark finish peeks through.. it adds so much drama
to the piece.

Can you remember the other piece I did in this color?
You can peak at it {here}

I added some new worn nickel hardware because I wasn’t
happy with how dainty the piece of hardware was on
the original piece.

This minty color makes my heart stop & this isn’t the last
time you will see it on Lizmarieblog.com {sorry! haha}
For those wondering it’s Valspar’s Mint Gala.
