A couple of months ago, I went to a yard sale and found this sweet little table ...
It was kind of banged up and its paint was peeling, but I loved it and asked the lady the price. I was delighted when she said, "$2.00?" -- with a question mark at the end like that might be too much! Of course, I was even more delighted then and paid her for it.
After I got it home and looked at it more closely, I decided that the paint was too "chippy" for the "distressed" look I wanted, so I decided to paint it a cream color and distress it myself. That called for sanding some of the paint off and I and my "little helper," Avery, went right to work ...
Well, to make a long story a little shorter, I sprayed the table a cream color, but didn't like the way it looked ... so, being the perfectionist I am ... I abandoned the project for a couple of weeks.
The other day when I was in Wal-Mart, I bought a can of flat black spray paint and figured if I didn't like the table painted black, I could just use it in the garage or somewhere. So, Saturday when we were staining our gourds (see my "Stained Gourds Project" post), I sprayed the table black and liked the results.
I had planned to put it all along ...
