The "When in Doubt" Console



I picked up this console table in the summer and in my garage it sat... and waited... and collected dust.

It  wasn't in good shape at all.  I'm sure this table saw a few rainy days at that outdoor market before I bought it.



Ok... Here's the thing with this console table...
(see if you can see where I'm goin' with this)
#1    I sand it down and paint it white.
#2    I distress the edges.
#3    I like very much... and bring it in the house to decorate it.

#4     (Notice the newspaper on the floor) 
I decide its too white and on a whim I glaze it right there in the hallway

#5     I decide I like it


#6    I decorate it

#7     I take pictures
(keep up with me now...)


#8   I take pictures from all angles
# 9   I stand back and stare at it.....
(are ya following me?..)
#10   I hate it.

Stay tuned for the Post-Christmas Post on this console table when it gets yet another makeover!

  2. Paint it black satin..then paint one coat over it lightly of a barn red or dark blue or green..it would look awesome on your white wall area. I love the piece itself..and it's not bad..but it needs to pop!!!!!Have fun!!! Cindy

  5. I like it. Can you give us novice newbies detailed instructions on how to paint and distress something like that? I would love to do something like this with a craigslist beauty that has some hidden potential.

  8. I loved it white, and loved it with the glaze too. Don't you hate it when something doesn't turn out how you imagined? Why do you hate it?

  10. Wonderful job! It's a great piece to begin with, but I love the white paint, distressed finish, and glaze. I alos love the triffle dish filled with berries and ornaments. I may have to pull mine out and do the same. Great work, girl!
