I just finished a custom project for a client, and I just love them! They had these beautiful side tables that they found for a steal... they just needed a little stylish patina love. Take a look at the before and after pictures below.
I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Versailles and clear wax. I think they look just wonderful. They are lightly distressed, nothing over the top.
