Breaking the mold - Painted Table

This weekend I broke out of the non 'color' mold.

Ya'll already know how I love my spray paint.

Changed up my drab coffee table with black, months ago.

Use a bunch of the famous heirloom white.

After seeing all the beautiful things around blogs painted in blue, red, green; I've been wanting to try color too.

And I LIKE it!

I picked this table up MONTHS ago at my local Goodwill.

Actually it is a sewing machine table.

$7

My thrifty little find has been used in my kitchen even though I've always had plans to paint her.

She gets dressed up for different seasons.

Saturday was a fun day full of hitting yard sales and a couple of Goodwill stores.  Yep, more to share this week with a yard sale score just up the street from my house. After my junk hunt, I stopped to pick up a can of American Accents spray paint - $5.

Moss Green Satin.

It's been beautiful weather here in Georgia, so between loads of laundry and making up several different salads today (veggie pasta, pistachio and chicken salad); I hauled my little table outside.

I removed the hardware.  

Painted the handle with leftover black.

Then painted her moss green.

Sanded the edges a bit for that worn look.

This was my first try at sanding after painting.

Did it work?
A cute side table for $12 total cost.

Brought her back in the kitchen and dressed her up.

The little bunny was a yard sale find, $1.
The black candelabra was 10 CENTS at a yard sale last year.
It was in sad gold shape til I painted it.

Tried out a couple of looks on her.The wicker tray basket, also from Goodwill for $2.

The tiny runner was found there also, but my ole brain can't remember the price.

I love the punch of color against my white.

The curtain was made by my mom and ties it all together.

Doesn't my thrifty little gal look pretty now?
