Thrifted Coffee Table Makeover

January 29, 2014 By Meegan 16 Comments

Happy Wednesday to all of you!!  Are you freezing where you are???  Luckily for me, I am warm and cozy.  AND, I have been busy with painting our room, craft cupboard and now a thrifted coffee table makeover.

We had company over the weekend, and I was able to back and just look at our home.  I saw all of the work I have done of the past 3 1/2 years.  I can honestly say, I am liking the look.

To see more of my living room, check out Jeanette’s blog Country Design Style.  I was a guest on her blog yesterday, and gave a full tour of our living room.  (Thanks Jeanette!!)

Looking mighty fine!!

Before and After Table

Here is a quick picture of before and after.

Last week I went to REstore and found a flat antique white paint (super cheap, I might add!).  It was the exact white I was looking for to paint my thrifted table.  Definitely time for a makeover.

Using a dry brush and the flat antique white paint, I got to work.  I painted over the majority of the table.  Then with sand paper, I started on the next step.

I sanded in various areas on the table.  Then I got a hammer and dented the top of the table.  I know!!  It was really fun to use the back end of my hammer and hit the table top.  Plus, it gives the worn look I want.

The sanding is always fun, too.  I like to see the various colors that come through around the corners and edges.

So here My Thrifted Coffee Table Makeover is in all it’s glory.  Easy peasy and it only took about 2 hours to complete.

Not too bad, right??

Do you have a piece of furniture that you need and/or want to paint?  I would love to hear all about it!!

Thanks for joining me today.  I appreciate and read EVERY comment.

Make it a wonderful Wednesday.

Choosing Colors for a Master Bedroom

January 21, 2014 By Meegan 3 Comments

Happy Tuesday! I have been choosing colors for a Master Bedroom and it isn’t as easy as it looks. Especially since I am trying to bring a welcoming feeling into our home. As you know, I like whites, blues, and greens with gray and pinkish/coral mixed in a few places.

Happy Tuesday!  And it’s time for me to share my thrifted Buffet Makeover! I am seriously so excited to share my thrifted buffet with you today.

You know how you are looking for something, and you KNOW exactly what it is, but you haven’t ever seen one before?  Well that is how this was for me.

I was at the thrift store crossing my fingers for a dresser type thing to hold some of my crafts.  My vintage cupboard holds the other crafts.  But, I have SO many, I needed another cupboard.

Pajamas and Pillows

January 10, 2014 By Meegan 2 Comments

Happy Friday!!  I am thrilled to be with you here today!  There is always something going on around here, and I am sure the same it for you, too.  Life keeps us busy, doesn’t it?  I took some time out this week to make some pajamas and pillows.  It was nice to sew again.  I really enjoy my Mother’s Day present from my Hubby.

Anyway…As you can see I like pillows.  They make me feel at home, and cozy.  How about you??

I made this pillow when I first starting changing our home from deep reds and golds to lighter whites and blues.  I still don’t even know why I chose this fabric.  Sometimes I just have brain freezes like that.
