Assembly Line of Tables

I have become inundated with tables.  I had the idea to start an assembly line of five tables to make a dent in my stash. 

Here is the cast of characters.  (Table five was switched in on a whim and I didn't have a before shot of it.)  I sanded down all the tops and was able to stain all of them with Minwax Dark Walnut.

The first table was from the hoarder garage sale.  I used a blue/grey oops color that I mixed into homemade chalk paint.

This paint is Behr Premium Plus Self-Priming Interior Flat which was also low odor, zero VOC.  This paint was AMAZING!  The coverage was incredible, although I am sure that is what made it hard to distress.  I did do two coats, but probably could have gotten away with one.  I distressed and waxed with Minwax Finishing Paste.  

Since the coverage was so good, I thought this color would work great on this table and added it in.

This one only needed one coat and I distressed heavily.  I used the dark wax "glaze" technique and also a little stain on the drawer detail since I was having trouble getting the wax in all the crevices.  Can you believe they were both painted the same color?  

I painted the next two tables that I got at this auction with Valspar Pine Green mixed into homemade chalk paint.  After the three coats of paint, I distressed both and used the dark wax "glaze" technique.  The green color was a little too bright for my taste and the wax toned the color down a lot.

It will be interesting to know if someone buys both or if they sell separately (I priced them the same). 

I finally painted this table I got from the first auction I went to (in October) with three coats of Valspar Churchill Hotel Vanilla mixed into homemade chalk paint.  I distressed it and finished it with the dark wax "glaze" to give it more depth.

Because my furniture budget per piece is pretty low, I get a lot of tables since that what usually falls into my price range.  I still have quite a few to paint, but this freed up a lot of room (to buy more).
