Pebble Beach Table

Hey Y'all, I found this little end table at a yard sale, which happens to be the place I find most my pieces. It was in really good shape and the color was pretty good but it was just to much and didn't bring out all of the detail that was in the table. So this is how it started out...



This is going to be a simple project that anyone could easily do to update a piece of furniture they may want to paint or add a pop color.


For this end table I decided to paint in Country Chic's paint in Pebble Beach it took two thin coats to get good coverage as the stain was pretty dark.


I opted to leave the top of this end table the natural stained top as the color was good but the whole end table that color was just a bit much so all I did for the top was clean it up and it was good to go. Same for the little knob. 


To finish the piece off i lightly sanded in some areas and finished in the clear wax over the painted parts! This is a project that anyone could easily do and it makes such a big difference.




The Farmhouse Hutch

Today I am going to share a makeover of a cute little hutch that I found on craigslist! it had a wooden back that hole cuts in the back that just didn't look good but it was in good shape and really heavy it just needed to be updated..


At first I was going to change the back to bead board but I started painting before I decided to just take it off and Painted it in Country Chic Paint in Vanilla Frosting 


I wanted to paint the inside of the doors with bliss! and decided to also paint the drawer to.
It took a couple of coats to get everything coated well. 


After that I distressed it a little bit and finished it all in clear wax then used a little antiquing wax on the drawer and inside the door to give it a little something more. 


I left the hardware that was already on it, they look old and matched the style of the piece. 
Now it looks like a cute little farmhouse hutch!

Vanilla Frosting End Table

This little end table came from a yard sale. It was cute but the wood was orange and dirty and stuck in the 80's and needed an update


As you can see from the before picture it started out with feet but once I got it home I noticed two of the feet were broken, so instead of adding anymore I just decided to take them off.



For the colors I chose to do the base of it in Vanilla Frosting and do the doors in Ocean Breeze! I heavily distressed the piece on the doors and all the edges 


After that i finished the piece in natural wax all over and added back the original knobs that was one the piece and now it has a fresh updated look that can be used for many  more years!


I love how it turned out and the distressed also the bottles are vintage and found from yard sales and the roses came from the yard!
