When we began moving furniture around in preparation for the new nursery, I needed a couple of crucial items for our living room. One of which was a coffee table. I knew I wanted something large since it usually serves as our dinner table (terrible, terrible I know). I also wanted something that could survive my kids. We came up with the perfect solution that also helped us recycle another piece of furniture…we turned our Pottery Barn train table into a chalkboard coffee table.
After turning our playroom into a dual boys room, the train table no longer fit so we decided to paint it and use it in the living room. We slapped a quick coat of chalkboard paint on the top…
We also added casters to give it a little extra height and so we can easily maneuver it on our jute rug.
As for the drawers that came with the table, we are still planning to use them for toys upstairs.
We are hoping to use them under the boys’ beds.
So far the table is working out great…it can take a beating, rolls around with ease, and serves as the perfect dinner table 🙂
An added plus is the chalkboard paint, which the boys love writing on and I have even used it to label appetizers during a party.
It looks even better once you write on it and erase it…kind of like metal.
