Hi everyone!! This week I'm participating in Susan's (Between Naps on the Porch) Met Monday!! I was planning on participating last week but a sprained shoulder kept me off the 'puter!Every summer I make a "To-do" list. Most of the time I usually accomplish about half on the list. :-) One of the things was to re-paint an old antique table I had previously been using as a TV stand.
It was painted a dark hunter green...
That definitely did not go with my bedspread.
So after taping up the "feet" with paper and painter's tape...
I spray painted it with an almond color. (Pictures make it look white.)
Added some of my favorite "girly" things and several doilies ~ and Presto! An easy and quick metamorphisis!! :-)
I can't wait to see more transformations over at BNOTP ~ I need an extra dose of inspiration to keep me "To-doing" this summer! :-)
Thanks for visiting!

Adorable Laura! Gosh I hope you are feeling better.. poor thing.. not fair getting hurt just when you got your break from school. Love your cozy home. Love, Cindy
Oh, Laura...I love the way your table turned out! I have a table like that stored away in the basement and it's pratically black...from just age. This is giving me some ideas! What a nice change and I know it looks fab with your beautiful bed now! So nice to see your name on the Met Monday list! :-)

Hi Laura! So good to see another post from you! Love the way you transformed that table! Great job! I saw where you came by today! Thank you for your sweet comments. I was busy all Friday and Sat. doing flowers for a friends' daughters' wedding! I slept til noon today! I haven't done that since highschool!!! God Bless! Lauralu :)
Looks so good white. Isn't it amazing what paint can do. And to think most people scream when you say you are painting wood- not me.

Don't you just love what white paint can do. Such a sweet table!
What a beautiful transformation Laura! I have several pieces that need some elbow grease & paint & I'm dragging my feet... Your table is so pretty, it's a good incentive to start working on my "guinea pig" projects... doesn't sound too positive, huh? ☺ Diane
That's a great little table, and it looks beautiful painted with all your "girlie" things on it! It's amazing what a little paint and elbow grease can do. Kathy
I love the transformation. So pretty in white!!
Just perfect!
That turned out great! I love it in white! Happy MM!
your little table painted white looks beautiful!
Laura,
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I love that you painted this little table off white. The cute details on the legs show up so much more. Great idea. And I love the "girly" things on top.
Blessings,
Traci
the fresh paint really looks good, I love the details on that little table
Beautiful....your table is perfect now...
Don't you just love paint transformations, pretty easy and they can make a big difference.
Thanks for stopping by today!
I love these old-timey looking (well, they are antiques, after all) tables, and you did a great job painting it and dressing it up. I gave away one similar to this, and I'm kicking myself now!

Is there still time to go somewhere this summer? lol. I've been so into this re-do, it seems like summer is over. We started in the yard early spring, now it's too hot to continue. Everything will have to wait until fall or next spring. Let me know where you end up going. I'll post a pic of my inspiration for the kitchen. Just something to go by. Check it out.

Laura, that table look so prety painted that color, and your feminine vignette on top is so great. I love that touch of feminity against the dark wood. If I were a decorator, I'd probably say, "it pops"!!! laurie
Oh Laura, what a beautiful transformation/metamorphosis! Your table looks absolutely beautiful..... so dainty....and so feminine......just like you!!!!!
You did an outstanding job of putting it all together.
Love you!
So pretty! It goes so well with your bed now and you've accessorized it so nicely.
Manuela
Hello Laura, hope your shoulder is fully recovered now, you did a fantastic job on your table it looks so good with all your wood and your pretty bedspread, your tea set is gorgeous, happy Wednesday, Kathy.

Hi there! Happy 4th! I've said this for as long as I can remember - spray paint is the best way to instantly transform something. Good job!
Hey Laura just stopping by to say Hi...hope you are doing great my friend...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Beautiful....love your blog....Just blog hopping tonight and found yours. I have enjoyed reading it.. I love seeing all the different blog designs. Have a great week.
How did I ever miss this post, Laura? The table turned out so pretty and even prettier with the girly accessories on top. Sorry, I took so long in coming back. I went out to retake pics with a tripod cause the moon is full and so pretty and it was not captured right on the first pics I took....Christine
Laura- just hopping over to say hi and tell you you're missed! Hope all is well with you and that you are just enjoying summer to much to get to the computer!

Hi Laura, I just visited your aunt's blog and felt so touched with her post and almost cried. I can feel how close she was to your dad, who sounds like a wonderful man. That explains how kind you are. Happy birthday to him. In his case, the saying "Only the good die young" was just proven true...Christine
Turned out beautifully!!! Way to go
