Grandpa's homemade side table, before and after. Chalk painted

When my hubby's grandfather passed, we cleaned out his home. 

He loved to make small pieces of wood furniture and birdhouses from scraps.  

We have a handful of these types of small tables.

This is the perfect size table.  It works as a coffee table, or side table.  I have used this in many situations.  On our covered front porch with metal chairs, in between two side chairs in the living room.  It has held out computer tower and printer.  A great, overall, easy to move around table.

Another Walmart ooops paint.  This one in a lovely terra-cotta color.  

I black washed the top, the bottom shelf and sides.  Left the legs orange'ish.

After looking through all of the stencils, I chose the word believe because its universal and honestly, I loved the E.  ;)

After, top
