More Summer Decor and a DIY Paint Makeover
.
Do you know how hard it is not to type… “If you build it…”?
Hard.
Really hard.
Jim and I made these great console style tables for our last show, and I accidentally kept one.
On accident.
The natural wood patina is just loverly. It’s aged & weathered. Practically perfect!
It really is… but I was wanting a lil’ freshness for the Summer season.
So lucky me, I just ran my booty down to the shop and got another.
Job perk!
Everlasting is a pretty, fresh white. Ahh white. Goes with everything. And a personal go-to favorite.
(See basically every other painted piece in my entire house.)
Hey, it works. I can move anything, anywhere, and it matches!
While my table isn’t fine furniture, the chalky finish paint worked like a charm. It’s fast. You don’t have to pre-prime. (or sand if you’ve got a pre painted piece) and that makes it easy to use. Plus, no smell. The coverage was good and I know for many people, it’s convenient to be able to grab at a major retailer. It’s carried at stores like Home Depot, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn and Micheal’s.
Alas… I can’t keep two.
Not even on accident.
Even though you’re seeing it temporarily tucked against the wall there, I’ll have to choose natural or painted?
Oh. I got really crazy and added Primitive as an accent on the legs.
I know. WOW!
It’s like an episode of Color Splash with David Bromstad.
While you are hear, I just have to tell you.
It is so fun to share projects, decorate, take pictures… and create little vignettes. I just stinking love it!! And I am SO glad and appreciative that you care, and come by to see what trouble I’m getting into. I mean that with my whole heart!!
So what do you think? Painted or Au Natural?
Or should I ask Moby?
Nah… I’m sure he’d pick some sort of blue.

Shannon, I love the white table you’ve painted! I’ve been thinking about doing something like that to my furniture, but I don’t think I’m brave enough. Plus, my husband might kill me, if he came home and my house was all white! Do you do projects like this all the time?

I’m so lucky, my hubby pretty much leaves everything inside the house up to me 🙂 And most of the outside stuff too. LOL. If it’s decorative, it’s my deal. Yes, I paint stuff all the time! 🙂
