This table I am going to share with you today was actually picked off the side of the road. I was pumped because I was actually able to score a few other treasures that evening from the same place. My husband is absolutely mortified when I do that but I figure why let some solid pieces of furniture go into the dumpster. For this project I didn't even end up using a paint brush. I took a wet rage and wiped the paint on. I did a couple coats of a cream and then I swiped it with a really light aqua. I just kept swiping until I was pleased with the outcome. I figure it's always fun to try different ways to get different results.
On the last picture you can faintly see a picture of a pocket watch that I found on graphic fairy. I have found on a few different blogs of how to transfer images to wood. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I might just have to try it again in the near future.

I love it. Great color choice! I had to laugh at your typo, though .You said you took a "wet rage", instead of wet rag. Pictured myself getting so excited about painting that it looks like a 'wet rage' . LOL
ReplyDeletewow a very happy ending for that table! love your party and hope to be back soon thanks
