A New Old Table…

I found this really cute table at Goodwill a month or so ago.  I love the legs on it and when I saw that the price was $ 2.49, I grabbed it!!!  The top had veneer chipping off and there were water marks on it.  But I knew that with a little primer, paint and sandpaper I could turn this dud into a stud!!

I took off the veneer on top since it was chipping anyway.

I disassembled the table to make the rest of the job easier.

I love using Zinsser spray primer.

My $4.00 Ooops paint from Lowe’s .  Lyndhurst Duchess Blue Interior Semi-Gloss.  I would describe this as a “Robin’s Egg Blue”.

I used Pewter Grey acrylic paint to tone down the blue.

I used a sponge brush to apply it and wiped it off with a damp rag.

I love the end result.  I distressed it to make the primer and wood show through.

LOVE it!!

I chose the perfect spot…

Much better now.  I love the finished look. Very vintage and colorful!!
