My 1st spray painted furniture!

Step away from the trigger spray paint can.

I'm hooked!

Finally a beautiful sunny day on the weekend to indulge myself in a bit of spray paint folly.  A few weeks ago I decided my living room needed NOT to be so matchy matchy with all the same color wood.  A desire rose up to paint my coffee table BLACK.  Then there was this tiny little voice that squeaked inside my head saying, "What if you mess it up?", "You've never done a large item".   But I had my new spray trigger and my fingers were itching to point the gun!

So I found an old sheet, grabbed the gun trigger, some sandpaper and my can of Rust-Oleum Canyon Black paint.

Put a chicken pot pie in the oven.

And I sanded.

I locked and loaded my can.  (Can you tell I have a police officer son?)

Took a few minutes to get used to the gun and technique.

Oh what's that?  Major delivery of my 'new to me' Maytag Washer and Dryer.

I am so grateful for a friend that helped install these plus worked on my drain.  I am now washing HUGE loads of laundry with no water running into my floor!  YEAH!  However, the process took more time than I anticipated due to several road blocks with the repairs.  I was able to finish up my spray paint job right before dust.  I brought the table in and waited impatiently for it to completely dry.

Remember this from last weeks vignette post?

BEFORE 

Here she is AFTER today's new paint job

She looks expensive and sleek now!

I think she even makes my old hand-me-down sofa look better.

I LOVE it!  Not sure if I should sand her edges.  What do you think?  Yes to sanded edges or leave her be?
