Start at Home: Chevron End Tables and Tutorial!

I bought these little end tables in March for my boutique I loved the french legs and the tops were still in great condition so I only Painted the legs, obviously they didn't sell so I listed them in the local classifieds and NOTHING nothing NOTHING.

I decided to get a bit more creative with them, and a little adventurous!

CHEVRON!!!

This was my second time attempting chevron, the first time I thought I would "just" free hand it! If your thinking, "I never saw that one" your right! It was so terrible I scratched the chevron and vowed to never try it again until......a good friend of mine asked me to paint some chevron for her. So I grabbed these little tables and set out to figure out how the heck to get my chevron to look good....

I had to share this darling clock I got at a flea market last week, I LOVE IT!!!

To get a good chevron pattern you HAVE to put in the time to measure it all out!

First figure out how big you want your chevron, I wanted mine to fit the large size tape so I went with 3in x 3in squares!

Next start drawing your lines. A word of warning, DON'T use a pencil you will have to paint it again, learn from my mistake, maybe try using chalk. I will be on my next project I will let you know how it goes!
