I don’t have a new Favorite Find Monday to share today! It has been crazy here with end of the season activities, etc. and I wasn’t able to get out. Instead I will share one of my favorite Favorite Find Mondays from the past – the Annie Sloan Coco Table!
I found it and fell in love. However, it was missing a leaf. With a lot of glue, wood filler and sandpaper, I was able to completely erase the dividing line in the middle of the table. It looked like it had never had a leaf. I used Annie Sloan Coco chalk paint and clear wax and wowza – it really was a beauty.

A great flash to the past! I shall be back next week with an interesting new find – one more week until school is out and all the end of year madness ends 🙂
Beautiful. I painted a whole bedroom set in ASCP cocoa. The furniture color looks great but the wall color is mushroom and it makes the cocoa look awful. What color is your wall color or do you have any suggestions for my problem?
Hi Mari – my walls are Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. I find they really go with most anything. I can see how mushroom would not complement Coco at all! Coco has a lot of pink in it and any warm color with a pinkish tone will go well.
Beautiful transformation. I’ve always loved Coco as a wonderful neutral. The table pedestal has great features.
Thanks, Carol. Yes, the detail on that base and the rope trim were so beautiful!
Stunning! Amazing that you were able to erase the opening so well. That must have been VERY time consuming.
Hi Sharlee, yes it was! It took a lot of work to get it looking good 🙂 Worth it in the end though. I typically pass on a table that is missing its leaf but this one just called out to me!
Your table is a beauty, however it looks a beautiful green to me in the picture. Love it none the less.
Hi Bonniev – this is one of my earlier pieces and my photography skills needed a lot of help! It is definitely Coco in real life. Coco is a hard color to capture (even with my now-better camera)! Thanks 🙂
