Forgive Me.....

For I have sinned in the furniture world.

I painted a perfectly good campaign style table. I was trying to update it, but I think I cheapened it. But you can be the judge.

I got the table on the left for $12.99 at a thrift shop. More than I usually pay, but I had really wanted to do a campaign piece and hadn't found one until this.


I had in mind a classy blue...to make a statement piece. But when you have three boys (ages 5.5, 4, and 23m) at the hardware store with you, your brain can freeze while trying to corral them. Been there? Done that? Yeah...not fun. Here's what we ended up with..blue gloss paint and sprayed silver hardware.






I staged it in a few different spots in my house, and usually I can tell by my pictures, whether blogland will like it or not. I think I should've gone classy with black...what say you?

Side Table Before and After

I picked this up yesterday at a yard sale for $5.





I didn't do anything fancy to it, but I like it!











A little gray mistint paint and some oil rubbed bronze spray on the handle. Voila!!
