It looks so pretty with pink.
Here is the not-so- pretty before.
And here it table number two.
This one came out a little more distressed, so I added dark wax. The first table only had clear wax. You can see my technique and budget friendly tips here where I did my first table.
Now, should I do another booth project or a kitchen project for myself?

Those look great!! I am in the process of finishing up a piece too!
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty! And those little doors on the first cabinet are adorable! We'd love to have you join our Be Inspired Link Party on Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI do love those colors, I do what sells over and over again, I get a little bored, but like you said if it sells!!~~

I love the lines of the chest/end table. I just painted a bedroom set that was similar. I feel like I should be in France.
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful, I agree the colour is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing. What a beautiful space you have created my very first visit here I will follow on my way out so I know my path back here. Perhaps you will find the time to come visit me soon and do the same. I look forward to engaging more throughout the year and beyond. Take care. Cheers SpecialK XoXo
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Met Monday and I am a new follower so I can see what other gorgeous things you have up your sleeve! Those tables are beautiful! Love the color!
ReplyDeleteLove it, did you sand and prime it first?
ReplyDeleteThanks. I did lightly sand, but no priming.
DeleteI can see why this color is selling quickly, it is just yummy! I have been having some nice success with my painted pieces in my Cape May booth, so I agree, why mess with what works? Love the Paris greys and French blues.

I love it! I wish I could find pieces like this but I have never seen this style around our thrift stores, Goodwills, or yard sales. You did an amazing job! I hope you can link it up at our party.

Your tables are so pretty. Bluish gray is a favorite color of mine. Never tire of it.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Both tables are very pretty! What a lovely shade!
ReplyDeleteI am following this so I can see all your transformations. I have a pair of these in my closet (very similar -- vintage Drexel) storing my sweats. I have already painted them once, a really fancy time consuming redo. However, I am thinking that maybe their next incarnation could be grey/white -- so thanks for the ideas!

Hi Janet!
ReplyDeleteI love the shade of gray...I've only done a few pieces in gray and yes, they sell quickly...I think I need to do more!
I love the cubby thing you've added to your kitchen...cubbies are the best display! But what I really (still) love is that rose cup in your header...pretty!
Rene
It's unique in the world. Great !
