Farm Style Table Makeover

Yesterday I had plans to paint one little item and I ended up painting three things. You just never know. I know I have a dose of spring fever and I just can't stop freshening some things up.

This is the finished look of the little coffee table in the sun room I worked on.

The table was given to me by my sister  when she got our mom's old coffee table. I love that this one is crudely made and the top is old tongue and groove boards.

I was never wild about the gray color I painted it last year so out came my paint and brush.

You can see the line of nails and the poor condition of the wood. This table is in front of me when I am in my chair in the sun room blogging and it was telling me to freshen it up. Yes, my furniture talks to me.

 Now, it is happy in its fresher look.

The top still shows all the nail holes and dings still since it was sort of a mini face lift. She didn't want to look over done like Joan Rivers.

It didn't take me long to paint and wax it to achieve this whole new look.

And plain old white looks much better styled with lavender bunches don'tcha think?
The lavender is from Decor Steals and was a really good buy for three large bunches and the smell is divine.

But this is how the table is really styled with this seagrass woven tray from Pottery Barn outlet filled with decor books and

 this knotty driftwood.

Oh, and the other two things I painted? They will be shared all in due time.


I used Annie Sloan chalk paint in Old White and Miss Mustard Seed wax.
