Side Table Re-do

I have had this little table for a while, just waiting for a makeover!  It was Papa John's & I had snagged it out of storage a few trips back!  My room is rather large & I have wanted an armless chair in there & thought this would make a great side table!

Once again, on my purple kick ( & since that's what I'm doing my bedroom in) I had to go with purple!  This wasn't a HUGE piece of furniture, so it wouldn't be TOO dramatic in there, but it would be just enough fun!  &...if I didn't like it, I can always paint it again!

As I started to spray paint, I freaked out a little bit.  It SURE was PURPLE!  But I kept going & I am so glad I did!

Here she is all finished! 

Again, it's a simple little table, but with such color & pop I think she will look great in the corner of my room with a little chair & my grey walls behind her!  YAY!

I have been known to be afraid of color (especially furniture) but DON'T BE!  Sometimes it's just what your room needs!  I'm so glad I went with the color I did & can't wait to work on more projects for my room!

Kitchen Table Re-do...

I had an older kitchen table that was my Papa John's while my dad was growing up.  It worked for what we needed it for, but was just a little too small for my eating area.  A lady at my dad's work was selling this one for a super good deal.  Yeah, it's much older, but who said I couldn't make it a lil more contemporary?!  & who doesn't love a good project?!  I did this months & months ago, just forgot to blog about it!

It's a rather odd table...these are the two "legs" that go on each end that prop the table up.  I knew I wanted to paint them black, as well as the apron of the table & all the chairs.

I was going to spray paint everything except for the apron, because it was just going to be too difficult.  So I bought the can edition of the spray paint I was using.  It took a GAZILLION coats of black paint, & STILL didn't do as good a job as I was hoping, so I eventually had to spray paint it outside....VERY carefully!

Here it is after a few coats of paint...

The chairs before...

& the chairs after!  I LOOOOOVE them!  =)

Comparison of the two...

& this is the only picture I have of it completed, & it's from my phone...but it'll do!  I was very pleased with my very first spray paint furniture re-do...& all by myself no less!  I only have 4 of the 6 chairs black, but I kinda like the two wood odd balls!  :P

My kitchen is going to eventually be painted grey, with black, white & apple green accents.  One day...when we find the time to paint!  :P
