French Linen in the "Man Cave"

Santa Clause (and family) was good to me this year, I can not complain. My awesome sister got me a new color of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (ASCP) for Christmas. And my mom got me another jar of Annie Sloan Dark Wax. I know what you are thinking....paint and wax for Christmas? What a weirdo. 

I was dying to paint something with my new ASCP. Then I thought of the perfect piece of furniture. You see, the "man cave" is a work in progress. We have a black coffee table in this room that the hubs and I have had since we first moved in together. It's great, but I was bored with it. Here it is...

I am not sure what style of table you would call this? It has 2 sides that fold up if you need more room. 

I knew this was the perfect project to tackle with my new ASCP. I was bored of the black and needed a change. So 2 coats of paint later, I got to applying the dark wax to give it more dimension.

Not sure I did the steps in the right order, but after I applied the dark wax, I distressed it and then finished with a coat of clear wax.

Here is the finished product. The lighting is horrendous in the "man cave", I do apologize. 

The table looks so much better in person, I swear. 

I love the makeover! What do you think?
