A table up-cycle and DIY distressing with ink!

Hello blog friends!

I hope you had a WONDERFUL Easter weekend!

I had a little fun up-cycling this weekend!!

It is nice enough for me to start spring cleaning...

and my newest rule is that if I don't love it as it is and I won't up-cycled it, I have to get rid of it.

And so that is how this little table got a paint job!

And I came up with a technique of distressing without distressing without sand paper or layers of paint.

Yep, I just distressed with ink.

and it turns out I really really love this little table now.

I am so glad that I didn't get rid of it!

It started out like this---a garage sale find from last year that was completely neglected.

All you need to Do it Yourself is:

-Annie Sloan Chalk Paint {Graphite}

-White Ink 

-craft sponge

All you do:

Paint your table and let dry.

Use your craft sponge dipped in your white ink to distress by just rubbing along edges of the furniture that you want to highlight. 

{I followed these steps by adding a layer of Annie Sloan clear wax to seal the table}

Thats it!
