Finished Table

In June, I had posted that I need found a table for Rebekah's bedside.  Here is a photo of the table I found on kijji.




Cute little table, made of walnut?

I wanted to paint it in a colour that would go with this bedding - Rebekah found this and she loves it.  I do too.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the finished table:

 







Nice right?!

 

I did not varathane it to seal it, I just used some wax to make it nice and soft.   Rebekah likes candles and I love Art Deco, I found a cool glass candle holder and sprayed it with looking glass spray paint (can't find it in Canada - My Mom brought it back from Florida!) and now the candle holder has a lovely Art Deco feel.  You can't put a candle directly in it, the candle will ruin the finish, but you can put one in a glass container in the sprayed on.

 

 

I like it, how about you?

Side Table

I love me some scraps that I can turn into masterpieces.  (Hence the name of the blog...hello...)



My oldest daughter got a new bed a few months ago, a nice black and silver bed from IKEA.  She needs a side table and I saw this on a blog not that long ago that would be rather nice beside her bed in turquoise.

I found this side table on Kijji for $15.00.  It needs a real quick sand and then some turquoise paint.  I have purchased the corners already.  I am going to spray paint them silver.  Also, I had mentioned that her bed is black and silver, so I think I am going to dip the legs - half black, half silver. 

 

As you can see from the pink dresser, the handles are gold to match.  My side table has an inset handle, I think I am going to silver leaf it to match.

 

Check back to see how the finished product looks.

 

 

Until then,

 

Live High,
