OK...every year at this time I get into the "NEED A CHANGE MOOD" I have been wanting a new table for awhile now but it is not in our budget...sooo when the Pocket is tight.....
You buy Paint!
You buy Paint!
Most of you know I really am BIG into the Vintage Country look... I have been liking the Blacks with a Distressed look to it so I went to Home Depot..bought
*Black Paint
*Cranberry Color Stain
*Sandpaper
*Paint rollers and brushes
* gloves
so I ran home...Lugged my table out on the back deck and used my electric sander my Husband bought me last Christmas and sanded away at the table..............
Before.....
Then when you use the sandpaper,Paint and stain....you get.........This....
Me putting the finishing touches on the chairs..........
see what a little sand paper can do...make a new chair look old and worn....I did all the chairs like this and distressed the table around the edges too......
Finished...........
Oh and did you happen to notice what is under the Table? Yep a Braided Rug! I did end up buying a new rug even though it cost me more than a new table would of I think....( EYEROLL) but once a Pug pees on a rug...they will continue to pee on the rug...then again the old rug I had there before was 5 years old....time to go! besides I really like this new one sooo much better!
The Pugs approve too!
But Wait! That's not it!
Before I show you what else I am working on...I have to tell you I have the Best husband in the world for allowing me to do this to a Brand New Home ( if you call 2 years old new) I asked before I did ( after I gave it a lot of thought) He said Sure...I don't care I have faith in you..you will probably make it look more like you and if you are up for it...sure!
Okay are you ready for this........
He let me...
Paint........
Our....
Kitchen cabinets! Can you even believe it! OMG
See how I distressed the cabinets? little worn look to them?....... LOVE IT!
as you can see I am not quite finished yet...... here is a somewhat of a before and after shot....stay tuned hopefully tomorrow I will be all done....
Oh I am so excited to get this project finished....... ( sigh ) long night ahead of me....Too~Da~Loo
Off to Paint and Stain!
