BOO TABLE !

GOT THIS LITTLE TABLE AT

THE THRIFT STORE AND IT HAD SEEN

BETTER DAYS.

IT WAS OLD AND RUSTED AND

NEEDED A LITTLE HELP. THE

TABLE WAS ON SALE THAT DAY

I THINK I PAYED $6.00 FOR IT.

I ALREADY HAD A PICTURE IN

MY HEAD WHAT I WANTED IT

TO LOOK LIKE..

SO I BROUGHT IT HOME SANDED OFF

THE RUST WITH MY DRILL AND

A STEEL BRUSH ATTACHMENT

THEN I SPRAYED IT.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE WAY I ENVISIONED IT.

I MADE THE PUMPKIN BY SPRAYING IT

WITH BLACK CHALK PAINT AND

YOU CAN WRITE ANYTHING YOU

WANT TO ON IT!

HOPE YOU LIKE MY BOO TABLE !

LETS HEAR IT FOR THE GOURDS !

I DID A GUEST POST FOR AMANDA EARLIER TODAY OVER AT THE IVY COTTAGE BLOG SHE
IS DOING A SPECIAL SEGMENT ON

THE MAGIC OF AUTUMN ! SO BE SURE
TO STOP ON OVER AND CHECK IT OUT

 I ALSO WANTED TO DO

THE POST ON MY BLOG AND INCLUDE A FEW MORE
PICTURES

I LOVE AUTUMN
I LOVE THE GREAT WEATHER,
PUMPKINS & GOURDS,HALLOWEEN, AND

I LOVE THE BEAUTIFUL COLORS

I WANTED TO INCLUDE A COLOR INSPIRATION

IN MY FALL DECOR ON A WICKER CHAIR THAT I

PICKED UP AT THE THRIFT STORE 

FOR $5.00

AND IN HONOR OF AUTUMN I WANT

TO CALL HER MISS GOURD. YES,

I NAME MY FURNITURE PIECES. THE PAINT

I PICKED REMINDED ME OF THE

PRETTY LIGHT GREEN GOURD COLOR. 

 

HERE IS MISS GOURD

WHEN I FOUND HER..

A LITTLE WORN AND DIRTY, OTHERWISE

ADD A LITTLE OF MY INSPRIRATIONAL

COLOR AND A BEAUTIFUL PUMPKIN

BEAUTIFUL!

LETS HEAR IT FOR THE GOURDS!

MIX AND MATCH TABLE REDO

I HAD FAMILY VISITING THIS WEEK SO I DIDNT

HAVE A CHANCE TO GET ALOT DONE BUT I DID

FINISH A TABLE PROJECT THAT I HAD 

STARTED AT THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER!

I STARTED OUT WITH TWO TABLES WHICH I 

DECIDED I WOULD MIX AND MATCH AND

END UP WITH MY DREAM PIECE.

YOU REMEMBER THOSE OLD MIX AND

MATCH GAMES YOU PLAYED WHEN YOU

WERE A KID. 

SO HERE IS WHAT I STARTED WITH

AN OLD OUTDOOR SLATE TABLE THAT THE 

SLATE WAS BREAKING SO I HELPED

IT ALONG...

THE WROUGHT IRON LEGS WERE STILL IN

GREAT CONDITION SO I SPRAY PAINTED

THEM TO FRESHEN THEM UP. 

THEN I FOUND THIS OLD COFFEE TABLE AT

THE THRIFT SHOP FOR $5

I LOVE THE WOOD ROUND TOP AND KNEW I WAS

GOING TO USE IT FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO I TOOK OFF THE LEGS AND SANDED THE

TOP UNTIL IT WAS BARE! I THEN

APPLIED A POLY SHADE VARNISH WITH THE

STAIN AND VARNISH IN ONE AND 

A STAR WAS BORN...

Pin It

 

I THINK I WILL NAME HER
MISS MIX & MATCH!

IF YOU NOTICED THE BENCH I HAVE WITH

THE TABLE ITS BECAUSE IT GOES WITH

THE CHAIRS I HAD REDONE 

ON THIS POST, "STILL OF THE NIGHT"


 THAT MY NEIGHBOR PUT OUT BY

THE CURB. I FINALLY GOT THAT DONE

AS WELL.

HOPE YOU LIKE HER SHE WILL RESIDE UNDER

MY GAZEBO ON MY BACK PATIO..

IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

YOU MIGHT BE ASKING , WHY WOULD I BE CALLING THIS POST IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT, BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT OUTDOOR FURNITURE .

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU.

MY NEIGHBOR PUT THEIR RUSTED OLD

LAWN CHAIRS OUT BY THE ROAD

TO DISCARD. I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO

THINK I WAS NUTZ FOR WANTING

THEM, SO I WAITED FOR DARKNESS

TO FALL THEN MADE MY MOVE

I EVEN BROUGHT MY FIANCE IN ON MY

CRAZINESS. BUT

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU GET ALOT

OF GREAT STUFF ROADSIDE BROWSING.

HERE IS WHAT THEY LOOKED

LIKE BEFORE...

AND AFTER I WORKED THE MAGIC..

I PICKED UP A WIRE BRUSH

ATTACHMENT FOR MY DRILL ,

AND WENT TO TOWN

ON THEM TO REMOVE ALL THE RUST. THEN GOOD

OLD OIL RUBBED BRONZE SPRAY

 PAINT CAME TO THE RESCUE.

 THREW ON A FEW CUSHIONS

-NO I DIDNT MAKE THE CUSHIONS-

AND BINGO!!!

THERE IS A BENCH TO BUT I HAVE TO
FIND JUST THE RIGHT CUSHION FOR IT
AND I'LL POST THAT TOO.
