Pinkalicious

My friend Carrie who happens to be my neighbor as well showed up at my house the other day with this table.  She had found it at a yard sale for $5!

It was such a cute table with a lot of cute character but I could see why it was only $5.  This was not going to be an easy/breezy project by any means. 


Just to give you an idea of what the top looked like.  My sander & I became BFF's on this project.


Making some progress...



Finally done with sanding and ready for the next step


I always love Kilz primer and love how well it covers the furniture.  One of the biggest issues I have with the furniture that I do is choosing a color!  I try to view the piece and get an idea of where I think it would look great in a house.  For this table I just kept thinking a little girls room so what better color than pink!   


I knew that I wanted to glaze it and decided to add some black glaze to add a little depth.  One of the most fun parts I think it choosing the knobs for the furniture.  Well, let me take that back the most fun/overwhelming part!  Mostly overwhelming because I am so indecisive.  My favorite place to get knobs is Hobby Lobby and knew these would be perfect once I saw them.

This gives you a view of the top of the table.  Loved that it was framed.



Here is a little before/after shot!  THANKS CARRIE for such a great find!
