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.

Fall Vignette

 
 
I love the colors of Fall, I love the deep reds, oranges, greens.  I actually just love color, and fall colors bring so much drama.
 
 
I created this vignette using lots of texture, some store bought elements and some from my own yard.
 
 



 
 
I even included a couple of DIY projects that brings some colorful patterns to the mix.
 
 
 
 
 
You can see how to create these for yourself HERE.
 
 























 
 To see how I decorated with the colors of Fall last year, you can check THIS out.
 
 
I've been pinning away lots of inspiration for Fall and Thanksgiving.  Follow my board on Pinterest to be inspired!
