Painting A Vintage Table



We had planned to go to the lake house this past Monday, but learned that our granddaughter will graduate from kindergarten tomorrow morning, so we decided to wait and leave after that.  We will be traveling most of the day tomorrow, so I wanted to show something I did this afternoon.  

I've had this little vintage table for several years.  When I bought it, it was brown in color.  I later painted it white, then just recently dry painted the top and "apron" with a Valspar sample called Green Water.



Today, I decided I wanted it all painted the green color, as I had already moved it from the guest room to the sun room.  Here is the new look!



I wanted good coverage all over, except I left the edges with white showing thfough.  I may add some more white as accents, but that will be after we return from the lake.




Here it is with a vignette on top.  




The picture is of a small lad riding in a wagon.  It was a gift to me a number of years ago, and is a favorite.





Hubby has been busy getting everything cut before we leave for a few days, and I made a couple of shots of the back yard.  



Isn't it pretty?  He does such a great job keeping everything cut.  I loved the shade across the grass, and wanted to share it.


Hope you all have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!!  Take care!

  4. What a gorgeous yard, Kathy! Your husband has to be full of energy to keep up with all that. I too love the shadows across the green. Beautiful! Your table is so pretty as well. That green looks like a good one. I spent much of yesterday in between projects trying to mix up a sufficient green like one I saw on a table online. Still haven't perfected it yet. It's hard finding the right color!

  5. Your table and your view are amazing. I'm trying to add that pretty robins' egg blue color in my house too. It's just so pretty. Your yard is amazing! I know it takes so much work but it's worth it.

  7. Hello Kathy, Love this sweet little table and the color is fantastic - my Dearest would LOVE your grass. Is it a guy thing? I saved and bought a zero-turn mower for him for his birthday last year - he's been enjoying riding it and quickly getting the grass cut. I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
    Kathy

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale. ...

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...
