TWO TEA TABLES

These little tables get a face lift on the same day.  You know how it is.  You can't do just one project at a time.  While the brushes are wet and the studio is all in a mess, might as well do two at a time.  So, these were chosen. 

Project One: Paint this little girl white. So, I started by sanding, using my handy Black & Decker Mouse.   Then, I decided it was still a little too shiny, so.......................

thought maybe I should use some Deglosser by Savogran.  I just rubbed this all over the table with a paper towel.

Then I used my favorite Behr paint.  It was actually an 'oops' paint, but it's what I would call 'cottage white'.  I hope "The Home Depot" can match their oops, since I love this color.

I brushed two coats of the Behr oops onto the table.  It was pretty like this, but then I decided she needed a little distressing.

So, using my Mouse, she gets the perfect shabby touches.

Finished???..........I don't know.

Naaa,  I decided the center section didn't show at all........soooo, out came a contrasting color and.........

Well, now it shows, right.  At this point, I'd just sanded back some of the burgundy.  After dusting er off................here she is.

NOW..............while the brush is wet, I thought I'd paint this small round Duncan Phyfe table toooo.

As you can see on this closeup of the drawer,  I let some of the wood show through.  I love, love this color..............by Glidden.

And, here it is finished, after just a little distressing around the edges.

Tea for TWO or TWO tea tables.......either way I think they turned out TOOOO cute.

     I just had to play with decorating a little before taking them to the shop.
