Charcoal Side Tables

Long day. Short post. 

These were pretty standard maple end tables.  They are solid and were in good condition but I decided they could be a little more chic. 


Before




After

I took a FB poll and charcoal won, so charcoal it is.  I actually love it as being so cose to black but softer and just as grown up. It says tres chic!



 I can't believe it, but I didn't distress these at all.  I wanted them to look sleek and clean. 



 Love these antiqued silver knobs . 

Sorry this post is so short and blah but these are #4 and #5 this week and I am tired. :)

    Très chic, indeed! I love the color; and those knobs! Were the sides already shuttered, or did you add that detail before you painted? Wonderful job.

      Thank you Jeannie! The sides were already like that, all I had to do was paint it! :)

    Wow, you weren't kidding about knocking pieces out this week, Lisa! I'm exhausted just seeing all you've done! : ) These tables looks great. So much more up-to-date with the charcoal color.

    Did you get this beautiful finish with a brush?

      Graycie, this is sprayed, but you can get a great finish with a brush too! I always say the key to getting the best finish is sanding! The more you sand the better it will look. I always sand between every coat whether I'm brushing or spraying. :)

      Thanks for the reply!
      Curious, do you mind sharing what sprayer you like to use?

    Love the plum color of this piece Lisa - it's perfect with the stained top.
