It's been awhile since my last post. I've been busy with custom work & the flu bug hit my house with a vengence. Now that things have settled down I was able to get back to painting. Last month I picked up the cutest little table.
The couple that owned this little table were so nice. Turns out the lady also writes a blog. They own an historical home & are in the process of restoring it. If you get a chance please check out her blog here .
Here is what this little Huny looked like when I picked her up.
I knew I wanted to paint aqua on those sexy legs. Then I painted the top a nice cream so the graphic would really pop on it. I used homemade chalk paint for both colors. Then I went over to the The Graphics Fairy to decide which graphic to use. I knew I wanted a vintage french advertisement.
I liked the words on this but I didn't like the scrolls that framed it. I just didn't fit the top properly. I had this cute little stencil that worked perfectly. After I distressed it I gave it a coat of clear wax then a coat of dark wax. I also spray painted the pull black. I think this little table is my favorite.
Sexy legs to go with the bling!
Just the right amount of Shabbiness.
Sold |
This little Huny was so sweet she sold in two hours at V Trading in Grand Blanc MI. I'm so glad I took my pictures before I took it over there.
Oh well, on to the next one. Thanks for visiting & have a great day!
There are some pieces you hate to see go but we can't keep them all. If I did, I couldn't buy more sweet pieces to reawaken! I'm not surprised that one sold quickly! ~ Maureen

ReplyDeleteVery nice! I used the same graphic on a little stool, but yours looks a lot better!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi - glad I stopped by your blog today. I have the smae tables and the coffee table too. Found them on craigslist for a song. I only painted the bottoms of all of them in an off white (and I antiqued them). I now know that I need a graphic on the top!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I am following you now. Hope you will follow me as well!
