I found this table at a yard sale and loved the lines and the storage it offered but was not crazy about the southwestern feel it had with the rough pine. I knew I could make a beauty out of it though. I summoned the help of my bloggin' friends as I was having myself a good ole' case of painters block!
My first thought was black...which was echoed by Crystal over at Crystal's Cottage. I then went to distressed white....which was echoed by April at The Painted Cupboard. But then it hit me...the color I keep seeing out there was calling to me. Bahama Sea Blue. Now you must know that blue has always been a color I could live without. None in my house or my wardrobe. But something has shifted! I want it in my house!!!
Let me just show you what we started with ~ then the transformation
I got the cute littel mini cup pulls at Hob Lob and painted them ORB
Let's see how we got there!
Much better. Looks black but is ORB
STOP THE BUS! NO PAINTIN' TODAY SAYS MOTHER NATURE!
Take 2
Now for the goodness! I just can't stand it! Needed a little somethin-somethin.....
maybe some sanding and then.......
WHAT NOW!!!!!!!
A Blue that even a blue hater can love!!!
Linking to these great parties!!

YEAH! Much, much better. In fact, it's fabulous! Great job.....I'm so happy you took off those tacks tack. That alone really changes the look.
So glad you went with the blue! It looks so so good. Was that just black paint not thinned? Fabulous!
That looks FANTASTIC!!! I love the blue. GREAT JOB!
You really did a number on that table - Fabulous!! Love the color! I've never had blue anywhere either but my last 3 projects ended up blue. go figure : )
Oh! It turned out Fab!!! Good choice! I'm loving the blue I see everywhere, but don't know how to fit it in my house. This might be the way to go. The darker is great!
Yay! I love it...I couldn't wait to see it finished, and voila! you came through! I like that..."What Now!!" you are so funny! You did a wonderful job on this table! BRAVO!!!!
Oh! and the blue...with the plain ol black paint over...GENIUS! :)
cute piece.
Wow, that turned out beautiful! I love it.
Great choice!! It turned out soooo well! I love it!
Hmmm. I don't have any blue either! I really like the tone. It's so amazing how the antiquing makes the wood look like it was distressed.
Great job!

Love it!

Just a note - I featured your great table today in my post. I've just got to get started on some of my own projects!
love the color.. turned out great
I love this blue color. i used to be a 'blue hater' and now its a go to color for me!! thankyou for the nice comment on my blog :) :) I wanted to tell that as for getting into a consignment shop i live in a small town so i just picked my very favorite antique store, and got on a list to be a vendor, 15% is pretty standard for commision.. i waited on a list for 8 months, which gave me alot of time to stock pile furniture and decor so when they called i was really ready! good luck and thanks for stopping by
