~FINALLY...IT'S DONE..~

....NO rain and it was all finished in time for Saturday's yard sales...
Painting this sofa table is something I have put off for months and months...actually for three years.

I was afraid.  Afraid I wouldn't like it...afraid it would look awful..or I  would do something wrong..but I finallly got my nerve up and it's all done. 


Well, once again I forgot to take a before photo..but...at least you can see the stark difference painting this sofa table made. 
It was a nice shabby chic piece in a sort of French Country room...my family room, except mine is not really what you could call  French Country.  It just things I like.  Just "stuff"...

...and here it is all done and back in place!  I love it! 
Isn't it amazing what a difference a bit of spray paint can make?


Please s'cuse the cord...I don't think my photo's through before I take them. 
..ho hum...
Every time I go in the room today I am going to be all..puffed up with pride...
and you KNOW what they say about that!  So...be kind...ok? 
(but then you ALWAYS are!)

Love and hugs...
Mona

Oh...yes..my garage sales...I'll show you tomorrow.  What a story I have to tell you...you know how daughters are...  never mind..I'll tell you tomorrow!  :)  
(or maybe Wednesday) Ok?
..more hugs..

  3. I´ve seen how good You are with painting furniture so You have no reason to be worried that You would do anything wrong! I´m a painter so I do know what I talk about :-)

    It looks great! I´ve always had a problem with white furniture, perhaps because i´ve always had dogs and cats that really can mess things up after being outside in rain :-) :-) :-)

    Have a great day now!

  14. Dear Mona!

    I'm so pleased to know you enjoyed my latest post. It gives me such a thrill when I'm able to share the splendour of the mountains close to my home.

    Now, to deal with your question...YES, I TRULY/REALLY do think your sofa table is lovely! It looks really classy painted black and the style of the piece is gorgeous. The way you've decorated it in your home is beautiful. I know you said you'd taken 3 years to pluck up the courage to do it...now it's done and you've every reason to feel puffed up with pride!

    Big hug,

    Des xoxo

  19. I absolutely LOVE this piece and you did a great job on it Mona! In the picture I noticed that it really brings out the dark colored grout on your rich looking brick fireplace. I wish I would have used that color grout on mine!
    Anyway, the table is just beautiful as well as the display on top.

    Have a wonderful day!
