Feeling Blue

Funny title to my post because in no way do I feel BLUE...I am feeling quite splendid today. My title refers to a make-over I just finished. I found this cool vintage side table (I think that is what it is) its very 50'ish looking, but I wasn't feeling the brown wood look. So began my newest furniture make-over.

Here's the table before I got my hands on it....

 

 

 

Not a bad looking piece right? So I sanded and sanded some more

 

 

had to get the handles off and try and remove the indentions from the handles...wanted a fresh base

 

then I thought I would paint it cream and add some color to it - so I grabbed my handy spray paint and got started

 

worked on the top and then was scheming about what other color or design I would add to the piece to make it look cool and fresh...

 

Don't laugh. I really liked the coral and aqua look and thought I would throw in the gold but shoot if it didn't come out funky...I was bummed so I re-sanded....and then decided to a MOSTLY one color - color scheme.

 

 

Hence the FEELING BLUE - see doesn't this look MAGICAL??? I am so in LOVE.

 

I added gold paint to the handles and the front feet (which you cant see) of the dresser/table and my sweet husband made the vase for me because I needed a prop - again with the gold spray paint.

 

Up close shot of the vase....and in case you are just smitten with the pear - I made it ---it's made of clay. Pretty? I dig it. So here on this blog you'll see the GOOD & the BAD and even the UGLY :)
