Before & After: An Injured Chair

Do you remember this?

It's feet were chipped and in need of some tlc.

My friend Kimberly gave me this tube of putty to try and it worked great!

After waiting for the putty to dry, I brush painted it white...

...and used 120 grit sandpaper around the detailing to distress...

I used this blue damask fabric to recover the seat.

I'm so happy with how it turned out and thankful that you stopped by today to see it! Have a blessed week!

DIY: A Striped Coffee Table

I found this coffee table at a rummage sale with a $25 sticker on it, but was able to talk the owner down to $12... yes, always ask if they'll take less. You never know unless you ask! 

First, I removed the legs and gave her a good sanding.

I LOVE this little DeWalt! 

I brush painted the entire table with a satin white and used painter's tape to make stripes. 

Sorry there's no picture for this, I'm still learning to remember everything I need to capture in the process!

I sanded around the edges to give it a little distressed look then used 

Minwax water-based polycrylic protective finish.

And here she is...

Can you tell I like stripes?!

Round Table Re-do

Hello! Happy Wednesday, everybuddy! I hope you are having a blessed morning so far. 

This is the day that the Lord has made! Rejoice and be glad in it!

I have so many projects going on right now... a chair I need to get to, a hutch thingy (not sure exactly what it's called) for my dining room that needs some tlc, wooden pumpkin signs galore I've been asked to paint for Caleb's school, a cedar chest that I'd like to paint and make into a bench, and the list goes on and on and on... Just not sure when I'm going to have time to get to everything!!! But that's ok, b/c today I'm choosing to rejoice! Everything will work out just fine! 

Today however, I want to share with you a project I completed a few weeks back. The story behind it started when my neighbor called to see if I would be interested in a little table she'd already thrown in the dumpster. I jumped on that right away! It was perfect timing! I'd seen so many table before and after pics on Pinterest, that I was eager to get started on a restoration project myself.

 Here's what she looked like when we picked her up:

I just loved the lion head pull and spindle base.

Isn't she darling?!

I covered the beat up drawer with fabric and added a glass knob. 

I couldn't be more happier with this sweet little table!
