Chalk Board Table

My daughter is joyfully obsessed with sidewalk chalk right now. She even decided to sneak some inside the house one day and draw all over the wall!! I decided to make her a chalkboard craft table that she is free to draw all over when she sneaks in her next batch of chalk. :)

Above is what the table looked like before I started. (and yes that is a shadow of me taking a picture of the table :)) I lightly sanded it and wiped it all down. The I spray painted the bottom shelf a bright pink just so it wasn't all black. I wanted it to pop! Then I covered the bottom after it dried (to make sure no black paint got on the pink) and applied 4 light coats of the black spray paint chalk board paint. I followed the back of the can's directions for the most part, but I did read reviews of people saying they needed to apply about 4 coats of paint for it to work better so I did 4 just to be safe. This is what it looks like now!! Lilliana's new craft table that she can draw all over!
