Small Side Table

If a table can be fun, then this table is F-U-N.

 

I picked it up at the Habitat For Humanity Re-Store, and if you ever have the opportunity to shop one of these stores, you should.  They have a great selection of just about everything and it's for a great cause.  I never leave there empty handed.

 

 

Here are a few before pictures (be sure and stay 'til the end, I've added something special to make this table sparkle and shine!)

 

 

 

 

 

I started with primer.

 

 

 

 

 

I used a blue-gray for the base coat and white for a dry brush affect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For an added bonus, I went to Home Depot and had mirrored glass cut to size and added it to the top.  I think it's a nice touch!

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you think about adding the mirror?  Was it a hit or miss?  Leave me a note and let me know what you think, I always love your feedback.

New Look for a Tired Table

This table needed a new look, it was old, tired, and had damage that required a deep sanding. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love a good round table.  They look beautiful sitting in a bay window with a seasonal vignette displayed, or a large foyer with a big bouquet of flowers.

When getting ready to paint a new piece, I go to my "Painted Furniture" board on Pinterest for inspiration.  Feel free to find your own inspiration HERE.

 

For this project I used THIS.  I loved the color combination!

 

 

 

I started by giving it a good coat of primer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The top took several coats of black with a good quality roller.

 

 

The bottom was painted Gray with White dry brushed over the top.

 

 

I sealed the top with a couple of coats of sealer, being careful not to leave any roller marks (that was the hard part).

 

A nice Fall vignette on top and I love the new look.

Furniture Flip - 2 Nightstands

 

 

I purchased 2 Nightstands, one at Habitat for Humanity Re-Store for $12.00, and the other at Goodwill for $6.00.

 

 

I wanted to give them a uniform look so they could be sold as a set. 

 

 

 

 

 

After removing the hardware and applying primer, I choose my paint color.

 

 

 

 

 The similar handles that were used kept each piece unique but at the same time helped to bring unity.
