Game Table turned Breakfast Nook or Entry Table

Sunday 25 September 2011

Do you ever have trouble naming your blog entries? Yeah...obviously me too. This one has a lame name. Oh well...the table itself is NOT lame.

Last week I found this one for $7.99 at Goodwill. It's Thomasville and solid wood.

It was a game table in it's previous life, but I wondered if many people still use game tables...given that you can play chess and checkers on your computer and phone. So I repurposed it into either a large entry table (for those of you with grand foyers...our entry is not big!) OR this could be a perfect, 2 person table for a kitchen nook.

Here she is today!

Giveaway WINNERS!!

Thursday 22 September 2011

The following four peeps have won a roll of decorative painters tape!

I initially thought I had several rolls of the zig zag/chevron tape...but I only have 2. I also have 2 rolls of rick rack/waves, 2 rolls of bamboo, and a handful of the chain link rolls. So here's what we're gonna do. I'll list the winners in order of how they were chosen and then winner #1 gets to pick which roll they want, and so on. (I have pictures of the random generator, but I won't bore you with them unless someone challenges the picks ;)

1. Heather @ Happy Chippy Junk

2. Kaitlin @ Not So Simple Housewife

3. Lidy @ Lidy's Creations

4. Andi @ Jane of All Crafts

Congrats ladies! Email me asap with your first and second preferences for type of tape and your mailing address!

Four Leaf Antique Pedestal Dining Table

Tuesday 20 September 2011

I would have LOVED to stage this piece better, but it's uber heavy and I don't have a space big enough to stage it. That said, I heart this table. And even better, it's owner came for a sneak peak this morning and also loves it!!

I mentioned this table in my entry yesterday, but here is the before:

After being given an amazing color to work with (which was an Ooops that the client found!), here is what it looks like today!

Now, you are probably thinking "what color IS that?". I have seen four different colors depending on the angle and time of day...deep gray, purplish gray, brown and at times, a green/gray. It is dramatic and moody...and I love it!! I also have a black glaze over it and light distressing.

Here is the color info if you'd like to try it out...I don't think you'll be disappointed! I got mine in satin enamel, as it's a dining table and enamel paint is more durable.
