Kids Chalkboard Table

Today I'm sharing part 2 of my IKEA kids table makeover. I'm so pleased with the results and my kids (and their friends) are LOVING the finished product. I originally planned to make this a white board table, but when plan A failed.... a chalkboard table was born. The color combination is great and since it was my first chalkboard paint experience, I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was. 

TA-DA!!!

 

I didn't really take pictures of the process, but if I were to write a tutorial it would go something like this. 

Step 1: Paint table green according to the paint directions. Keep green paint off the table top..

Step 2: Paint the table top with the chalkboard paint according to the directions. 

Ha! So simple, right???

So before... the table looked like this:

Unfinished wood... with lots of use... looks really dirty! The top of the table was also a mess, we had taped photos and games to the top and I let the kids eat snacks there as well. It was in need of a good coat of paint, but I also wanted to add an interactive feature as well. (I have more plans for this table as well!)

 So I did the drawings for the photos.... and my son was patiently waiting while I took the photos. We erased the table and I let my son have a go!

Did you see the chair makeover that I post last week?
