I don't know why blogger made me do this in two parts, but it did...so
I'm sorry. You can see
part one here...So once I had my design, I started painting.
and painting.....and then when it was dry, I distressed some more....This baby could handle it...think about everything she had been through....:)
and now look at her. All of her distress made her what she is today. You can not mass produce that kind of feel to a table. I love to look and see the old screw holes and gouges in her (since this came originally from a school, I imagine all of the kids that had sat at this table)
Now she gets a new lease on life and not one buried in the landfill somewhere. It makes me want to go out on the hunt again and find a new treasure to redo. She was a ton of work but she was so worth it. :)
and now....we get to sit and relax...and just enjoy our COFFEE.... :) I hope you have a BEAUTIFUL day!!!

This was a VERY involved project! I can't believe all you had to do even before you got painting. It looks terrific now!

Great table! Cute slippers too.
I love this! I think the incorporation of coffee is so clever.

Your table is fabulous! Love it! Love it! Love it! Think I'm gonna pour myself a cup right now! This will be sold before you get back to the store - may end up in front of my fireplace:)

This is so amazing! You would pay a fortune for this in a boutique and it is lovelier than anything similar I've seen.
Just totally awesome. I love the color and the painting you did. What a wonderful trash to treasure.

Hi, I'm a new follower. I found you on Freestyle Friday Blog Hop. Hop over and
say hi if you get a chance Jennifer from Just Wedeminute--
All I can say is WOW that's an awesome trash to treasure! GREAT job!
hermosa¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
great job!! you are so inspiring!! :) found you on the sunday showcase!
Coffee decorations are some of my favorite. I like your project a lot. It's clever b/c it's a "coffee" table, obviously, but it's also somewhat classic with the colors and the great picture and script. Very nicely done! Inspiring.
This turned out great! I recently painted a desk top similar to this, but I wasn't brave enough to freehand :o) I really love this!
great job on your table! It looks beautiful!
