Well, I hadn't planned on doing this.
But after spilling super glue and having it take off the paint in a giant chunk, I had no choice.
Of course, I'm always up for a change and glad to try a new look. I'd been pretty happy with the bright white with speckles that the table was done in before, but if I was repainting, I wanted to do something different, so I went with gray, then a crackle finish, then white, then a dark glaze under a clear topcoat.
Now that it is done, I'm loving it. It still has that white feeling that I wanted, but in a more rustic way.
Plus, it looks great with the "new" French net runner I got at an estate sale for $2.
Our dinner guests seem to like it too. Sugarwings invited some of her friends to join us around the table when Aunt Sharon came to visit.
At the moment, I am trying to really, really, enjoy my kitchen and appreciate every bit of it, because we are about to start on a remodelling project and I'm afraid I'll be living out of boxes and in somewhat of a jumbled mess for a while. Once we are done, I'll be thrilled with the new room, I'm sure. But I see some rough times ahead before we get to that point! Please wish me luck.
Luck to you! But you won’t need it. With your touches of awesome and inspiring, it will look amazing. Can’t wait to see pics once it’s completed!
Lovely, Karla. It looks terrific. Sometimes an accident is just what we need!
Thanks, Annie. Im impatiently waiting for the construction to begin. The permit is ready, the kitchen is packed, time to start ripping things out.
The table turned out fantastic! You just have that special touch of making everything beautiful. I got a type of scrapbook glue on my table that ate through the finish and I still look at that boo-boo every day. You are smart to redo the table. Good luck with your renovation! How long do they think it will take? Can hardly wait to see pics! Leslie
Isnt that sad when the finish gets ruined, Leslie? Dang!
Our redo starts this week! Oh, there will be photos, lots of them.
