{Before & After} Chalkboard | Coffee Table

I have done several Chalkboard / Coffee Tables and they are apparently very popular because they sell extremely fast - which makes me very happy :)

It wipes clean fairly well, especially if you use a water/vinegar ratio. However, it will not be totally and completely free of chalk - there are some slight natural indentions in the wood where chalk has found a permanent home. Here is a closer view of the top to show what I'm talking about:

See what I'm talking about? It doesn't bother me a bit, I honestly like the look of it, I just wanted to make sure you are aware that it is not a glossy black top for a coffee table :)

See, I think it looks awesome:

I have to admit, I kind of want to keep this one - it matches perfectly with our living room! Plus it is leggy while our original coffee table is very boxy (it has a pretty large storage compartment). I see a new coffee table in my future - preferably a leggy one with an upholstered top :)
