I have really been getting into furniture painting and decor blogs lately. Even before I started thinking about getting the booth at Nellie & Nicos. I have been thinking about how to use my skills are a painter and my paper crafting skills together. When I saw this table at the thrift store I thought I would be a great time to incorporate the two.
The table top has a recessed area and a sheet of glass that goes on top of it.
so I decided I wanted to do something there, but i didn't want to get too crazy with it. I actually want this piece to sell, thought I now love it but don't really have any where for it to go.
After I cleaned it up and put a layer of sander deglosser.
I started paining. I picked Behr paint form Home Depot. I actually saw that it got the highest marks in Consumer Update magazine. I went with flat paint and decided I would use Minwax Polyurethane.
So here is what she looks like with her new dress on.
Ain't she pretty!
I decoupaged diamonds I cut from different papers on the table top and sat the glass on top so they can't be ruined.
After painting her with Behr's Eucalyptus leaf, I aged her up with a sanding block and some aging glaze and then put the polyurethane on her.
It is hard for me to give this puppy up. For $75.00 she can be yours. She needs a good home. Right now she is here
waiting for you to come get her. ; )
Let me know what you think. Hope you like her as much as I do.
