I arose early this past Saturday....something I am not fond of in the least! I've finally reached the stage of my life where I can actually sleep in and I so treasure those days. The hoods were calling me and I set out with a dear friend to a multi sale nearby. So much more fun when you a have a friend with you!
On the last house of the day I spied this table in piece casually tossed in a pile. It immediately spoke to me. The wood felt so right in my hands. It was priced at $15. I offered $10 and we had a deal! It is quite old. Layers of paint, some of them lead I'm sure, havd been carefully sanded down...saved me a lot of work!
I've decided to use it without the leaves as a small laundry folding table in my new laundry room. I promise the reveal will be soon!
Last night I took my treasure to a local store here in Greensboro called The Thrill of the Hunt and attended a furniture painting class. I wish I had some pics to share, but I got so caught up in the class and my hands were so full of paint that I left the camera in the purse!
Anyway, she has received 2 glorious coats of paint so far. The second class is Wednesday night where I will learn glazing and distressing! I fear I will become an addict and start painting everything I can get my hands on! Her pieces in the store are just amazang!!!
