A few months back I decided it was time to update a sorry old buffet I had in my dining area.

I wanted to create a coffee bar. So I did lots of research on Pinterest to figure out what I wanted.
This is the look I decided on:

So it was time to get to work. I decided to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Duck Egg Blue for the body and restain the top in Walnut.

I should have taken more pics along the way, but I was too busy... and I always forget to take pictures
After stripping, sanding, and staining the top, I put 3 coats of Varathane semi-gloss Polyurethene.
Before painting, I sanded some spots (since it was old) and wiped it down. I applied 2 coats of chalk paint. Then came the distressing... this part took the longest, but I love the way it came out. Finally I applied the Annie Sloan clear wax.

Thanks to Lizette Monique Studios I got this awesome chalk board to decorate and finish my coffee bar!
