My Internet has been out for a week so that means I had to take a break from blogging. It was a good thing because I was able to start and finish a lot of fun projects. . . . which means more fun posts to come. First was this side table I purchased from a thrift store for 15 dollars (the D.I.)
BEFORE
Stained a side at a time. ( this is my first time staining and I learned the hard way. Cover edge to edge then wipe it off with a lightly damp towel or rag. Like The next picture, go from edge to edge. DON'T stop half way and wipe off then think you can do the other half, you will get a large noticeable line) If this does happen just cover it all again with stain and wipe it off again.
The whole living room shot. I hate the color of the couches but FREE is FREE. So I decided to add some new pillows to match my new end table to bring in some color and tie it all togehter.

MIDDLE:
Paint it with primer first. Then . . .
(spray painted it with vintage gold from home depot. It took 2 1/2 cans)

Everything turned out really great! Our houses must have been built around the same time because we have the same ugly oak cabinets, grayish floor and white walls. We only had enough money to redo one room when we moved in but hopefully we'll be able to do our home.
