I started re finishing this table about 13 years ago.
It was my grandmothers, and had about 17 coats of paint on it.
I sanded it down, repainted the legs, stained, and decided to paint a floral design on the top.
I never finished the flowers and it has sat in my shed, unfinished until today.
I pulled out the paint pens and finished it up. Then I sanded it down to give it a vintage looked, repainted the legs, 13 years ago I was into forest green....now the legs are black, glazed and sealed. Now it is in my house and makes the perfect little work spot for my compter.
I needed more room than the old sewing table I once had here.
Stacked some old crates, Funky Junk Stlye for my books and I was done!
My new fun little work space.
I bet that table makes you smile everyday! The flowers are a cute touch, it looks good. And you finished a project, double good!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the black leg with the worn wood. And the painting just *makes* this look vintage. Love it!

Such a cute table. I love the shape of the top and the drop down sides. So great that it was your grandmas.
ReplyDeleteI like the black legs very much. It makes the table look brand new. The sanding is the part I could go without if I could.
