the coffee table

i'm loving that my blog updates have been in high demand lately...unfortunately, though, my projects have been taking a little longer than i'd anticipated. storm clouds tend to roll in around 3pm every day, so that interferes with projects that have to be done outside. nonetheless, the coffee table, turned out GREAT.

do you remember this table? this week i sanded and primed it...and then it rained and got messed up...so i had to re-sand and re-prime a bit. then i got to paint. i pulled the light aqua/cotton candy blue from the fabric on the kitchen chairs, and i LOVE the color. After several coats of "lake shore blue," i distressed some of the edges and polyurethaned the top. now all that's left is a bit of drying time!

i think it looks pretty good, if i may say so myself. especially since it initially cost $5 at an estate sale. the pictures are kind of sneak peeks because my walls are semi-empty and the room is a little messy in its incompletion; however, i promise that more better pictures will be on the way soon!

the next projects to tackle are things for a gigantically empty living room wall and the chair & desk. oh and school starts two weeks from tomorrow!
