Hi my painting friends!
Are you ready to brighten a corner?
Going from this:
To this:
Now that's a cheery update.
First, the curly top trim had to go.
After a base of Burnt Umber on the table top,
I applied layers of paint
by dipping a square of cardstock in multi colored
paint puddles and dragging across the wood top.
It gives a nice layered look.
And here are the first few steps
in making the rope drawer pull:
Bright and happy colors bring the old brown to life.
Garage Sales will be starting here soon!
Let the hunt begin for furniture pieces
that have a new and bright future.
Thanks so much for stopping by,

That is definitely a great makeover. It went from an old piece of furniture to a bright, cheerful modern day piece.

Wonderful transformation!! Love it. So cute and bright. The door pull is genius!

This is awesome, Deb! It looks so great!!
Love this table-and your choice of colors! I am sure there has to be a piece of furniture in this house that needs this treatment!
What a bright and fun makeover! Great tutorial, too.
I need to go buy a table and paint just so I can do this! Love the colors....fabulous instructions-thanks for sharing! Lyndaoflakeland.blogspot.com

I so knew this was you! You have such a signature style!! LOVE your work!
Great transformation Deb! Love the colors and that cute rope handle. I keep saying it but one day I'm going to use your card stock painting trick. I think it gives such a cool look to your pieces.
I love it! The rope handle is perfect!

There is absolutely no comparison. I LOVE your little table.
I have an antique record cabinet that I painted red, yellow and blue several years ago. I wanted to paint it white, but my husband loves it. I am think that doing a stripe thing might be just what I need.
Thanks for the inspiration.
I absolutely love the color combination and rope handle Deb!! I would love for you to share your gorgeous redo with us at Pretty Things!

There you go again Lake Girl! You are so talented with that paintbrush of yours. Your photos always seem to draw me over to see what's happening. I love on a lake too in Pacific NW. Such a serene place to create. Blessings to you, Patti
Love how colourful this piece is. I always love seeing what you've painted next! Blessings!
You are just so talented! Just when I think you have outdone yourself, you outdo you again! Thanks for the tip on the rope handles too. I am pinning this one!
