Whatever Table

i replied to an ad a while back to pickup some end tables that i found on freecycle...when i went to pick them up the lady offered me this table and i took it...i wasn't sure what i would do with it but i figured what did i have to lose...i was pretty sure i could fix it...as soon as i finished one of the end tables i jumped right on this...after about 30 minutes i just gave up...it was past my knowledge....it was warped....i just couldn't get it to line up...the screws had rust on them and some of them were pulled out of the wood so they would not go back in the holes...i walked away....

i just left it outside when i got home because it was so bad

in just a few months of working with furniture i have taught myself quite a few things...today i was in a cleaning/crafting/painting kind of mood...look out, cause here i come!! i just decided to drag this piece out...it just came to me, the thought was in my head on how to fix it...i won...

i had this paint left over...since i'm into the coastal look right now, i took the paint i had, mixed in a little primer to tone it down, and added some water...my daughter came home and said, mama, you turquoise washed it!! wow, i can't believe she even knew what white wash was...she was right though...i just brushed the paint on...i let it just soak into the dry wood....my huband was about to die again...he hates this color....but when i got done he told me it reminded him of the beach....

so here is my finished table...not too bad huh? especially when i got it free...i think i will try to sell this piece...i just don't have room for it...i am new to pricing pieces...any suggestions?

Peace, Love, & Joy
