A Table Do-Over!!

It can happen immediately after you're finished with a project, or months later-but when it happens (and it will), you'll know it.

What am I referring to you?  Well...it's that moment when you ask yourself- "What in the world was I thinking??"

It happened to me this past weekend- I was moving furniture in and out of the foyer-trying to decide which piece worked best.  One of those pieces was the console table my mom had given me years ago-and that I'd made over a few months ago.

Hubby:  "I know you don't care what I think-but I like that table best."
Me:  "What was I thinking?"
Hubby:  "You're asking me?"
Me: "No, I'm asking me.  What was I thinking painting those drawers silver?  They look hideous!"
Hubby:  "They look fine.  Now can we move on here-otherwise the staircase is never going to get finished!"
Me:  "I can't finish the staircase until I decide how I want to decorate the foyer-and I can't decorate the foyer-until I decide which table I want to use."
Hubby:  "That makes no sense at all!"
Me:  "It would if you were inside my head!"
Hubby: Grunt-expletive.
Me: "And that color....it doesn't work at all!"
Hubby:  "I'm going to watch the race.  Call me when you're done re- painting the table!"
Me:  "Who said I was going to re-paint the table?"

Okay-so hubby knows me TOO well.  Yes, I did re-paint the table, and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!

After a bit of sanding-I gave the console table two light coats of American Decor-in Carbon.

The knobs got a good sanding too!  After the table dried completely-I did a little distressing. 

Now that I have the perfect 'piece' for the foyer-I can get back to the staircase!  Speaking of the staircase-we are currently putting trim on-and replacing the balusters!   I'll be honest-I can't wait until that project is behind me!!!


Have an AMAZING day!
