The glass is always half full as far as a I am concerned. Times are tough but we continue to have shelter and food. The love we experience makes us rich beyond measure. I don't mind not being well off financially I have never experienced total freedom in that department. I know for sure that it has made me the person I am today one that takes nothing for granted and throws nothing away (my favorite part)! I found a table last week that was half of a table that had been fashioned into a accent table. When I found it the top was Formica and it was in dire need of some love and attention......da da da da! That's what I am here for, to give second chances to the unwanted! Yeah.
I peeled the Formica top off and gave it a new top that made it looked grooved like old fashion tongue and groove. Then I painted the entire piece with primer then black. The top I painted off white over a coat of crackle finish. I stenciled a small design on the top for accent and glazed the top with dark brown. I am glad for the opportunity to paint this table and I can picture it in someones home topped with their special treasures.
Wow....I have been snooping around your blog and just have to join you. Hope you come check my family blog out. Would love to see you there!
ReplyDeleteWow! That doesn't even look like the same table! I have a little half table that is all wood and I know it needs a face lift -- this has inspired me -- love the black!
ReplyDeleteSo much better! I probably wouldn't have even taken a second look at that table before, but now it's totally eye catching. I'd love it if you'd link this beauty up at my Saturday Splendour Party! www.megandmums.com :)
ReplyDeleteSo much better! I will have to keep this in mind next time I find an ugly Formica table.
