You know everything I do does not have to be a huge deal. And every now and then it is really nice to paint and refinish something simple that doesn’t need to be completely rebuilt or requires every single tool that Big Daddy owns. Especially right now since Big Daddy in out of commission and well, some of his tool are just plain scary to me.
Case in point?

I really have no flippin’ idea why in this world we even have one in our garage.
So tired and a bit bleary eyed I came across this nice mahogany console table for $10. Thank the good Lord. There wasn’t a thing in this world wrong with it and I really could have gotten by without refinishing the top. But since it was a bit on the orange side I sanded that down and chose a less orange new finish, Annie Sloan dark wax and it was perfect for it.
Much better…..and way more current.
Even the knobs were a great deal.
Hobby Lobby had them on clearance for $.99. My store only has two. Good thin thats all I needed huh?
Let me just say that if you are in to the grays and you’d like to paint something do yourself a favor and buy yourself a small pot of Dixie Belle Hurricane. It is a great color to paint and at around $10 for that small pot it will do about 4 of these tables.
Can ya’ll see Lily’s sweet little paw in the bottom right of the above picture?
This entire project took me about 2 hours. Two relaxing and very peaceful hours that I was craving to still my very busy brain. I think we all could use that a bit more often, yes?
Hope your week ahead is good 🙂

Very pretty.
Thank you !
This is just beauiful…. it’s the knobs i think ! They are the perfect “jewelry” for this lovely simple table. Glad you were able to give yourself a bit of time away for yourself! Hope Big Daddy is coming along !!
BEAUTIFUL!!
Beautiful as usual! Love it! So glad your “busy brain” got some rest! LOL!
Dixie Belle’s Hurricane is a lovely gray but the knobs as so eye-catching. It is a great little table.
I loved them Debra ! They are on clearance at Hobby Lobby 🙂
