Cottage End Table modified slightly

This was my second build and am very proud of myself. Never would I have imagined I would be able to build a piece of furniture!! It took me a little while to finish as I slowly bought the wood and worked on it here and there.

Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
I found a recipe on the net for chalk paint and wanted to try my hand at that. What a disaster! The mixture was really thick and I ended up having to water it down A LOT. I perservered and thought well if this doesn't work I can always sand it back and try something else. I applied two coats and sanded it slightly so that the table had a weathered look and I loved it. I then applied a clear coat.
