Queen Bee Coffee Table

My parents and couple of good naps from little Lydia were just what I needed to complete the redo of our coffee table. 

I used chalk paint this time, but for this project I should have used regular paint since I ended up using clear poly for the sealer to help with the sturdiness of the piece.  I also used poly because I didn't care for the aged look the wax gave this piece.  Oh well, live and learn.  I did really like using the chalk paint, it just wasn't helpful for this project.  I also ended up with a lot of brush marks since it dries so fast.

It distresses really well

Here is the before:

 

And the stock photo

My parents re-upholstered the 4 wedge stools that fit underneath the table.  They did a fantastic job.

I adore the fabric

Then I added the stencil in a charcoal acrylic paint

All finished!

What do you think?  I'll do the living room reveal in a couple of weeks when I get the rest of my projects finished up.
