First of all I’d like to thank all of ya’ll for you kind, heartfelt commits about my last post.  I know ya’ll like the personal stuff but I really did not expect the slew of lovely comments  :).  Ya’ll truly amaze me and I really appreciate that!

Second, I do not have a before of today’s victim.

I have sent a FB Marketplace message to the nice lady I bought the piece in question from requesting the photo she used in her ad.  If I do hear back form her I will amend this post.

OK, ya’ll had fare warning.

I announced a couple post ago that I was about to go and dig out all of my pumpkins.  I just could not stand it.   We have had a cool weather front move through Western North Carolina a couple days ago and it feels like Fall!  It was in the low 50’s this morning and when I stepped out on the porch, coffee in hand  I just stepped  right back in the house.  With everything that has been going on in our world I am welcoming Fall in any way I can get it.

Who’s with me???

This little table was in good shape and listed for a good price on FB Marketplace so I was automatically in from jump.  It was a little on the red side (the original stain) but I knew that paint would fix that.  I painted it  in General Finishes Coal Black chalk paint, two coats did the job.  I did choose to paint the top on this one.   I wanted a matte  black piece, no contrast really and as red as the original stain was I new I had a fair chance of a mess on my hands if I tried to re stain it.   I am super happy with the look that I got, especially with the crystal ball knobs!

The drawer liner paper is another story.

Ya’ll I walked in to my tiny, tiny neighborhood Habitat Restore and found a double roll of York brand wall paper for a buck!  The wallpaper wasn’t marked with a price so I took it up to the checkout counter and the total with tax was $1.07.  I can not make this crap up…….  I am admittedly not the brightest bulb on the tree ya’ll.  It had never occurred to me to look for wallpaper in thrift stores before I found this.  About a week later I found a roll in my Goodwill for $2,  so keep you eyes open if you need some.

I know it’s hart to tell much about the size of this piece from just these photos but this is not a tiny table.  It is quite a substantial piece.

Is it feeling like Fall where you are?

Have a great week ya’ll!
