I love to wax black paint! I love to wax graphite chalk paint! I really really do! I hope if I say it enough it might make it true.

THE IDEA
I was hoping to transform these little cabinets into a
cute set of bedside tables but they became much bigger.
BEFORE
AFTER
THE PARTS
I combined them together to make a bookshelf for a friend's son. The front legs are harp arms from a vintage mirror, the top is a maple coffee table, and the lower trim is the apron from the same table.
THE PAINT
I spray painted the cabinet in Annie Sloan Graphite Chalk Paint, and that would need to be waxed. But first I decided
to make it bigger.
*****************************************
A LITTLE EXTRA
I used a single pine headboard and other recycled pine
boards to build a shelf for the top of the cabinet.
WAXING
I hate waxing black paint!
I hate waxing Graphite chalk paint!
No matter how often I do it I really don't enjoy it!
