My friend Maria from Dreamy Whites is having an amazing giveaway over at her place. I know people are always posting about great giveaways, but this one really is incredible. One lucky blogger will win a queen sized duvet designed by Annette Tatum. Check it out!
I am so glad that the warmer weather is finally coming my way! I am ready to hit some yard sales and paint some furniture. I have a pile in my basement that's been calling my name all winter. I also have lots of pieces in my home that need a makeover. When I was working on my sheet music dresser, I decided the treatment would also be perfect for a two tiered table I rescued from my grandparent's attic. It had some pretty significant water damage, so I needed something more than paint to make it look good.
I didn't take a full before shot, but you can see the top of it in this picture.
I sanded it down and painted it in my favorite white - Creamy by Sherwin Williams.
I then used a vintage French Art Songs book to cover the tops of the table. Due to the round shape of the table and the center piece I had to cut around on the bottom tier, I cut the sheet music and did a "dry fit" before applying the Mod Podge.
Once the Mod Podge was dry, I applied a coat of wipe-on poly to protect the table tops.
This table came from my grandparent's attic, but it is not a sentimental piece. I'm so glad, though, that I am able to save something that belonged to them and give it a new life.
It looks so perfect nestled between my piano and French settee. After looking at these pictures, I'm really getting the itch to repaint my living room. I love the peacock blue, but it's feeling a little dark these days. It just wouldn't be a normal week in my household if I wasn't painting something.
I've posted this to Transformation Thursday.
