{DIY} Chalk Painted Bedside Tables & Getting Organized

After painting the master bedroom that gorgeous navy, I decided that the bedside tables could use some sprucing up as well.

Not the best photo, but the dark tables were kind of blending in with the walls and I wanted them to pop.

 I was a little nervous about this project. The tables are nice, solid Ethan Allen cherry but they were also very outdated looking.  The finish was glossy and I didn't know how the chalk paint was going adhere.  The nice thing about chalk paint is that you don't need to prep the wood.

 I used the Michael's brand Americana Decor chalky finish paint again (in Everlasting).

The nerves went away after I finished the first coat, it was already an improvement.  I did two coats of paint and one coat of wax to finish them off.

 I added sparkly new hardware from Lowes.  They were the only style that fit the preexisting holes but luckily that was the exact look I was going for. 

 I didn't need to do any extra distressing of the tables.

 Just enough of the dark wood shows through.

 There's my thrifted flameless candle lantern!

 I also took the opportunity (while the drawers had to be emptied) to purge and organize my drawers.

I love how I can see everything in them now(sorry, no "before" photo but just envision a big jumbled mess!).

I think these drawers need a fun lining now. #futureproject
