About two weeks ago I was coming home from work driving thru my apartments. What did I see? Two twenty something bachelors throwing out two perfectly good end tables. They did not have the glass tops for the tables, but I didn't care. I said, "Throw those in my car please!" And they did after giving me a you're crazy lady look.
Here is the before:
So with a little paint and fabric covered 1/4 inch plywood we now have two of these:
I used fabric from the Carnaby Street line by Pat Bravo Designs. I just love how fresh they look. I am going to seal the top of the tables with the super gloss mod podge that is suppose to give it a glass like finish and in 4 weeks after curing I will be able to wipe off the tops. I am so in love with these tables.
Other things in our recent history was a trip to Froberg's Fruit and Vegetable Farm in Alvin, TX to pick strawberries. Don't they look like jewels?
My main job had 1920's day recently, but since I don't own anything that even resembles that era I work 1980's attire and went back to my 20's. I had to participate somehow, LOL.
Last but not least my dear Michael had his Spring Concert. I am so proud how he has grown in all aspects of life and learning this year.
That's all for now. Life hasn't given me much time for my creativity lately. Hopefully I will have more time soon.

I admire how some people can see the potential in things that other people discard. The finished table is oh-so-fun. I love the white paint. It completely changes the look of the table.

ReplyDeleteAwesome table makeover! I made a Carnaby Street Quilt with and I just love those fabrics too! And love Froberg's. We live in Tennessee now, but used to live in Pearland- just a hop, skip, and a jump from Alvin!
