My new Craig’s List table……..

 

e

table 3

e

I found this beautiful table on Craig’s List right before Christmas.

It appears to be in pretty good condition in this picture……..

but as we all know pictures can sometimes

be a little deceiving.

I didn’t plan on painting the table originally.

However the top was in pretty

 rough shape so I planned on refinishing just the top.

After looking at the table to come

up with a plan I realized

that two of the legs were faded from sunlight and were lighter.

Being the lazy person that I am I decided to just

paint the table because the thought of refinishing the

entire table didn’t sound all that appealing.

table 2

e

Originally the table had gold around the edge

of the top so after I painted and distressed the table I added a little

gold Rub N’ Buff to all the raised areas.

e

table 4

e

The little table has now found a spot behind the settee in the living room.

This wasn’t the spot I originally had in mind but

it all worked out in the end.

Joining the party at:

 Savvy Southern Style

Hope to see you there!

Gorgeous. I had one similar but never thought of painting it so I gave it away. Now I'm regretting that decision.

It looks so pretty there! I like it painted white actually. (No surprise!) I have never bought anything off of Craigs List. Can you believe that? I should check it out some time. I see all kinds of deals that people like you get.
