Sweet lil' table re-do

    So, this is the cute lil' table I snagged at the high school rummage sale early last Saturday morning. Here it was before....
     Good bones, decent price, but, oh, so 1981 Sears and Roebuck. Yawn.
     I took it home, primed it, painted it, and finally, antiqued it.(just like I shared in this past post...same color paint and everything.) I added the bows for good measure...now I am not sure I like them, so they may disappear.
     Now, it's divinely vintage foofy-la-rue, and I'm really feelin' the love.

Look for this little baby at the upcoming Tumbleweed Cotillion....unless it sells ($45) locally before June 27th.

You have such incredible vision. A few months back I would have walked right past that little table at a garage sale. (pre-paint job) But now I would buy it. I am learning to look at things differently because of the adorable transformations you've done. I am still searching for the perfect china hutch to transform to look like yours.

I noticed the bows right away and I like 'em!

I love the bows, they are so unexpected. Another great job of giving new life to an old table.

So adorable! I LOVE the bows!

I like the bows too. They add that little something. The table would look great in my living room. This is my first post on your blog. I have been reading it every morning for seven months now. It is must reading for me.

I just love, love, love your style! And my vote - cause I know ya wanted to know - keep the ribbons! It adds that touch of foofala! I wish I lived near you... I'd snag it up in a second! (I secretly think you could charge more than $45 for it!)

Smiles,

I have TWO tables just like that in my 'to do' pile for the week!!! Mine are probably going to be white, then sanded and distressed; since I don't have a wonderful chair like you do to match them to and pair up with.

I DO like the bows too! And since they are not permanently attached, I'd leave them on and see how it's received. You can always take them off if it seems folks are passing on buying it because of the bows.

I love it! And now I'm thinking that I am going to start saying "foofy-la-rue" too! :)

Many Blessings,

Looks great! And I just love the chairs in your earlier post. I wish I was close enough to go to your Tumbleweed Cotillion! And I really wish I had a $2 fabric store!

Also, I did a post on my blog a while ago with a little monogram in a picture frame just like you have here on the table. Same letter B and everything! So cute!

ITA what Connie said. Keep the bows! I wouldn't have thought of that and it's really a cute detail.

Darling little table!!! The bows are the PERFECT finishing touch! Many thanks for linking your past post on the paint technique... I'm going to muster up the courage to try my hand at it on my Lincoln & Mary chairs!

I always like little tables they are so versatile. Painting them is not the best fun.. It is so easy to miss a spot on those legs!! Yours turned out wonderful. I would leave the bows, because they are kinda fun and the new owner can make the choice!!
JOY!

Oh, Yes! That table feels fresh and flirty with its new paint job and bows. Ooooh la la! Nice job, Tracey!

[Alison Gibbs]

What a fabulous makeover

What an inspiring make-over picture. I needed to see that!

I hope you kept the bows...I think it makes the piece!! I am currently wondering what piece of furniture I can "tie up"!
