It's a Wash, and it's Inspiring!

Hi Bloggerettes!  I want to thank all of you for your helpful ideas and suggestions on what to do with this table.  You are such a sweet bunch.  Don't know what I'd do without you.
About half of you said to stain it and the other half said to paint it.
And some of you said to dry brush it!

This look inspires me to add more vintage pieces to the tabletop.  I can't wait to set it up in my booth.


It's going to my booth, so we shall see.  If no one likes it I can always paint it!

I made some more burlap pillows. Yea, I know, you are tired of looking at them.



It's time to go blog hoping and I am going to try to visit as many of you as I can.  It might take me awhile, but I'll eventually get there.
So leave the light on!

I'm joining Debra's Vintage Inspiration Fridays, so be sure and check out all the wonderful posts over there.

~~hugs~~

I love the finish you did on that table. I would probably buy it if I needed one and lived close by.

Unknown said...

So nice. It will sell fast. I love your blog. Your living room is so exquisite. Love it!!!

I love your table? it looks so shabby and loved...like an old table should look. I would buy it in a heart-beat (that is if I had some cash teeheee). I don't think you'll have any trouble selling it to a good home.

Sherry @ No Minimalist Here said...

Sissie, I am one of those that said leave it natural. Now that I see it finished I have to admit I was wrong! It's wonderful and you should have no problem selling it.

The Polka Dot Closet said...

I do the same thing, sometimes I will leave a table as I found it and then take it back and paint it white. I love your burlap pillows, I have not done any yet, how are they selling in your booth? I do well with pillows especially if I use a Rachel Ashwell fabric.

Allison said...

Your table looks beautiful! That will fly out of your booth. Your pillows are always fun and fabulous to look at. Very creative...you always come up with something different with the burlap. I enjoy seeing your creations!

Henna @ AboutCabinets Blog said...

its a good looking and sturdy table that would certainly look very good if restored to its original glory, just make sure that its done the right way and it will through years, i like the little drawer a lot and would prefer using it in a foyar or hall with a mirror on top!!

Annie's Online Furniture said...

a very good piece of furniture, one thats lasts a long time, paint it a good color and decorate it the right way and it will charm your guests!!

Sherrie said...

Perfect choice. I love it. Just the right amount of paint and distressing. May I ask, how do you come up with a price? Do your tables for example always a set price range? Thank for sharing.

Oh I really like the dry brush look.

How did you do that? just take a dry brush and put a little paint on it? I want to try that.

June said...

I love how the table turned out Sissie. I don't think you will have to worry about it not selling. It's a great piece!
When I read your previous post about how you had to change your livingroom back to the whites. I thought to myself, 'I do believe that girl and I were separated at birth'! But I still love those floral chairs and would so find a place for them here!!!! Um...I'd still keep your doors locked!!!
hugs
