It's been a while since my last post, I just started this blog and I am already slacking off lol. I am working on getting the place together and decorated (we've already been here 6months lol), since my budget is tight I decided to work on what I had.
I had an old beat up table sitting in my small eat it kitchen, it was dinged and wobbly but still solid construction. After what seemed like forever I managed to get through the 30 million layers or varnish and I was ready to paint. I decided I wanted to attempt a two tone paint on top with a quatrefoil runner, I am HORRIBLE at stenciling but I though I'd give it a go. I chose a nice robins egg blue by Better Homes and Gardens ( Wal Mart) and clean linen white by Behr (Home Depot), I decided to mix the two and make a softer blue to go between the white and robin's egg on the runner. I still need to paint my chairs and get start on some new seat cushions but I am getting there! My kitchen floor did recover from that weekend, rest assured! My table didn't turn out perfect (my projects rarely do lol) but I do love it. I am still learning to paint and re-purpose furniture but I am proud of the out come and there are many more projects to come!
P.S. Please ignore the trash, my husband was banned from the kitchen until my table was dry.
