| They were in such rough shape that the lady at St. Vincent De Paul said I could take them both for $5. Sold, Ma'am. |

| First thing to do was peel the gold off.... |
 |
| I wanted them to be a super bright yellow, but alas, I had mixed white with my super bright yellow for anothe project. Drat. I squeezed a tube of bright yellow acrylic into my paint that I found, and it helped a little, but not as much as I wanted. Oh well, we use what we have 'round these parts. The using my 40% coupon at JoAnn's I paid a whoppin' 60 cents for the whimsical little stencil. |
 |
| I'm not sure I'm in love with them, but I think they are a little fun and they're growing on me. Might be darling in a gray and yellow nursery! The tops have patches of bumpy spots though because they just didn't want to sand smooth, so I threw in the towel and just did them "as is". They're cheap things anyway, I wasn't going to spend a ton of time or energy on them if I wasn't going to get much out of them. |

| So what's your vote? Too kitschy? Or cute? |
May I share with you some of my favorite things from Willow Children's Boutique?
I think cute for a kids room.
ReplyDeleteI think they would be adorable in a nursery!

I think they're cute Kammy! Love that stencil! Is it raining there? Windy, dreary, and blah here. We even had a little lightening and thunder last night. What a weird winter!
ReplyDeleteGreat transformation! I would love for you to link up at my Linky Party via: www.ourdelightfulhome.blogspot.com

Yell-Ohhhh! I wish I could paint furniture like you too and I wish we had this Joanne and Michel's here in Germany too. All the time I'm reading these names in blogs from the US. 60 cents for a stencil..you're too good at hunting bargains!
ReplyDeleteI vote for totally cute!!! Love the pale yellow w/gray stencil. :)
ReplyDeleteCA-UTE! and pretty :)
ReplyDeleteJealous of your stash of furniture, If I only had a place to store all of my treasures!!!

super cute! what a great redo!
ReplyDeleteCute! Great restyle!!
ReplyDeleteThose tables look like they want to start dancing! I think it's the jaunty legs and the yellow paint!
ReplyDeleteNice job!
Dear Kammy,
ReplyDeleteJust found you through Blue Cricket Design. I remember end tables like that in their original form. Yes, I'm as old as the dinosaurs! LOL I like the two colors together but I think the tables would look better if you painted the stencil to look like real grass and flowers. That would be much more work but I think it would be great for a girl's bedroom as night stands; more versatile.

Very nice. I remember those tables... ha ha
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Linda
these are so sweet! i can see them in a little girl's room as nightstands... they are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI have a very similar two-tier side table. It's been sitting in its natural state in my living room for some time, awaiting the perfect finish. I haven't decided yet for sure, but I think I'm going to cover mine in wrapping paper. Just looking for the perfect paper!
ReplyDeleteOh I like these. Perfect nightstands for a girls room:)
ReplyDeleteI happen to read another post detailing a makeover of the same tables. The makeover ended with a pink and white stain, but the ones above also look great, especially with those whimsical little stencil prints.
