Corner Table Roadside Treasure

Earlier this month I stopped by my Mom's house & sitting in her garage is one of the coolest tables I've ever seen.  When I asked her where it came from, she said my brother Travis found it on the side of the road with a sign on it that said "FREE" (my favorite price!). Thanks Trav, your the best!

Can you believe someone would throw this away?!!  I have seen these tables on Craig's List & in my local antique mall & they go for alot of money & I wanted one.  Look at it, there is not a thing wrong with it, Okay it has that one blemish on the top but other then that it's perfect.

Look at that beautiful scalloped top trim & those nice straight lines...

Now that I am done gushing over this awesome find I will tell you how we painted it. We first gave the whole surface a quick sanding. I had big plans for this piece & I didn't want any paint peeling going on. Then we gave it two coats of DIY chalk paint in Black. Now it was time for the fun part, the graphics!  I wanted to do something that would enhance the cool pie shape on the top. This is what I came up with:

I put the 1/4 of the hour clock face on it. If you follow me you know I have a clock face obsession.  Then I added the "Paris Clocks" to the bottom. I transfered the images & painted them in by hand.

I shadowed the images in black to add a little dimension.



After two coats of ASCP clear wax it was buffed to perfection.

 

I know I say this about almost all of my pieces but this time I really do wish I had space enough to keep it.
