Picked these two pieces up at a yard sales last summer. They are heavy, solid wood pieces. To me they have that cottage and beach design. I decided I wanted to do a beachy distressed finish on them. Of course, I think they could work in a traditional design also.

I decided to first paint them each with this new paint I picked up C.C. Caldwell Chalk Paint in Vintage White.
I will say it is not one of my favorite paints. It goes on thin, and usually takes several coats for coverage. I decided to try this paint because the dealer is literally ten minutes from me. But, I do like the Vintage White as an undercoat paint before applying my color which was Paris Gray (ASCP). Then I lightly sanded, distressed, and I love the look of the finished pieces. I did a clear wax finish. I love how smooth the finish is.

These would be great pieces in a family room, bedroom.
These beauties sold to go in a beach home! Perfect....
