Hello there! I feel like I have been quiet on the blog front lately with nothing epic to share. I have been squirreling away projects and ideas for spring. Currently I am working on a big wedding stationary order. Most recently I performed cosmetic surgery on a cute little side table that I’d like to share…

My neighbor picked up this little table for a song and saw the potential it had as a side table for him.  I think it may have been a children’s table in another life.

Looks like someone might have started to paint or prime it too. Not really sure what their plan was so I sanded it down leaving just a little bit of the old texture to create some depth.

For a masculine look, I painted the top with 2 coats of Benjamin Moore’s van deusen blue.

To lighten it up a bit, I applied 2 coats of ASCP Paris Grey to the legs.

Clear waxed the whole table and voila!  A masculine side table is born.

What are you working on?

P.S. If you are eyeing up that fabulous vintage thermos, it is for sale in my etsy shop.
