Let them eat cake table makeover with chalk paint

This poor table got a real banged up.So I decided that I would paint it....as if I needed an excuse. I wanted to do some of the work like done on Graphic Fairy site but I decided to make it more personalized

                 For the cake area I added some modeling past with white paint to make it look real.

I used "White icing" white Martha Stewart chalkpaint to coat the whole table first. I did 3 light coats to get into some of the groves in the table because I didn't not sand it down. After I drew out some of the designs that I wanted and painted them in with Liquitex paint markers. The grey "yesterday" is also chalk paint by Americana Decor. 

. I will be going back up to the cottage shortly to finish it because it is a side table that we need to use in the kitchen and I have been dragging this project out for a bit. I will probably do a little antiquing on it to tone down some of the intense colours and then seal it in the spring and let it dry between times that we are there.
