I am SO excited about my new-to-me end tables/nightstands.
I did a drive by at a yard sale… you know where you go really slow searching for something you may like? Well, I found 2 end tables and I loved their winding legs : )
When I asked how much they wanted for the pair she told me they were only for displaying things…. Not for sale : (
As I was leaving her mom came out and asked what I would give for them.
I asked what she would want for them...
She hesitated and said $5.00?
YES PLEASE!!
As I was going to my car to get the money I had this feeling she was getting gypped…I put her on the spot... you just have to know me. So I gave her $7.00. LOL
I took them home and put them on the carport… My husband loves it when I bring home more stuff…hehe
I didn’t know what I wanted to do with them so they sat around for about a month until one day I saw a post about homemade chalk paint over at Liz Marie.
What made me excited about this paint is you don’t have to use primer. I hate primer! Cleaning the brush after use is no fun!!
I mixed it up… eyeballing the measurements for a cup of paint and then stirred in the grout. It covered pretty good. I painted 2 coats. A couple of spots bled through the top so I painted 1 more thin coat. I love the chalky texture of this paint… I will be using it on everything.
After they were dry I liked them, but something was missing….
I tried distressing... 
but it still didn't feel complete.
but it still didn't feel complete.
So, I tried a little antiquing….
I wasn't liking that!!
I wasn't liking that!!
I love green and in our bedroom I use green, so, I painted some green on the legs, let that dry, and distressed… I love the distressed look!
Time for the big reveal…..
It’s perfect! At least they are to me : )
I L-O-V-E these tables!
And those lamps... at one time they looked like this…
Gasp! Yuck! 
I painted the shades green
and I spray painted the base silver.
This will look great in our bedroom, if I do say so myself : )
Thanks for taking time to check this out : )
