Another Design Rule to Follow: Never Take Yourself Too Seriously!

This project is a prime example of not taking yourself too seriously and I’m really happy with how it turned out!

I have a great  husband who could not be more supportive of my business.  Recently, he went up north to visit family and his sister’s neighborhood was having a block sale so he did a little shopping for me!  (I told you he was sweet!)

He came home with a jeep full of items to be finished and over the next few weeks (or months)  I’ll be posting before and afters.  The first transformation was a pair of side tables.  They were a great price and very nicely built.  Here is the before of one of them. (Notice the second one behind it primed and ready to be painted!)

 

I probably could’ve just painted them black again but what fun would that be right?  So here are the after shots!

 

 

 

I just used some left over Benjamin Moore paint from our basement remodel and some white Porter trim paint.  But wait there’s more, when you open up the drawer there’s a little pop of color!

 

 

I mean who doesn’t like a little pop of blue?  It’s Valspar’s new sea glass blue spray paint from Lowes!

 

 

This project was really easy to do and I’m really happy how it turned out.  We’ll be saving these pieces for our booth at Midland Antiques we plan on opening the beginning of next year!
