The side table reveal.

I'm laughing at the title only because it sounds so much more exciting than it really is. This was just a little project, though a first for me. I hesitated and procrastinated for a long while on trying to decide on a color. Then one day my motivation sparked and I got to work. So I set up a corner on my patio and made it my painting station. Papa J brings home lots of items from the hospital (gowns, towels, etc) so I used them as a barrier to my patio walls. It was an ugly work station, but it turned out sufficient. Small projects are okay, but for my bigger projects I'll have to use a friends back yard for sure.

Like I said, this was a little project. I sanded a little bit, primed once, spray painted, and then sprayed a mini wax over for a little more protection.


At first I was excited about the color. And then I added it to my living room and every time I saw it I would do a double take. I'm not used to having colored furniture in my house! But I do love it and I like the little pop it gives to my living space. Now I'd like to add some coordinating pillows to our couch to try and tie everything in. I'm slowly working on it. It takes time people!

love it! Green is my FAV color! I think small projects like this are the best--you finish them faster and still get the immense satisfaction of taking something ugly and making it look awesome!
