Chalk Paint Side Table

I don't know how to call this? Side table? I found this one at the thrift store and grabbed it at $14.00.  I didn't have any specific plan how I was going to do with it, but I like the style although the condition was just ok, and it was only $14.00. As a beginner to learn how to redo furniture transformation, at least it worth to try.
I followed the usual step, sanded it first, then painted the first coat, and sanded the corner again the get some distressed looking, then went for the second coat until dry, I found the stencil from "Martha Stewart" I bought from Michael when it was on sale. I didn't shake well the paint before I paint the stencil on it, I think because I was still lack of experiences and also didn't have enough "patient", so the result was not too happy, the top stencil was shown a little bubble. I was thinking to re-sand it again, and repaint it. When it was dry, I sanded it right away , actually it looked better, the pattern was just shown more faded which was more "antique look", so I decided to leave it like that.

Now this side table is sitting on the front deck, I think it will be nice to have a cup of coffee with  newspaper in the morning some day , especially have my beautiful flower garden at the front! Just like the words I painted on the table " sweet home"!
