Hello! I just finished up on this table, this was a really really fun one to do! It sanded nicely, it took the paint well, everything just seemed to go nicely the whole way. I couldn't decide a design, and eventually settled on stripes since I haven't done them in so long. I chose thick, almost nautical stripes. Here's the before:
I feel like these tables are a dime a dozen. Literally, I see them everywhere! But, they are solid wood which is really great. If you have a good base to start with, you're good to go. And so it went:
This turquoise is actually the same color as the top half of my kitchen. It's really bright, and wonderful.
A lil staging....
There it is! It's up for
sale, and will soon be in a local shop as well. I'll let you know where as soon as it's confirmed. Have a great one!
I LOVE it!!! Alway love stripes and ALWAYS love turquoise, so together man, you got win-win!! :)
ReplyDeletep.s. finally a profile pic! Not so mysterious anymore... haha. Oh, and if that's a camo shirt you're wearing, you just earned points in my book.
haha! thank you! Yea, I had a bunch of people asking me to show my face, so they could see who I was. here I am! No - it's not a camo shirt, darn! no points......hehe
ReplyDeleteOk, so first, I featured this table today. It's awesome! And second, although I always envisioned you as a brunette, I thought you were a girl! Oops! haha - that's what happens when I think! Anyways, love you table!

I came here via Katie from Craptastic and I have to say that I am in love with this table! It is amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job! I am now a new follower :)
Aw, thanks to you both! Hehe, Katie, don't worry about it - SO many people didn't know if I was a guy or a girl, especially with an androgynous name like "Jesse"... I thought it was cool to leave that up to the reader, and then I was getting harassed about not showing my face so I thought, alright alright... I'll come out with it already! I've debated putting it back to a pic so the new followers can experience the mystery hahaha...
ReplyDeleteI guess I am a brunette though, unless that's a term just for girls? I have no clue!

ReplyDeleteI love the stripes! I have a square table I may do this to, thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this table!!! What is the name, brand of turquoise paint? I love painting furniture and I must have!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a paint by Behr, but sadly I don't have the name anymore. It's from when I repainted my kitchen. The best description I can think of it Aqua Fresh.. haha, I hope that helps. It's a very greeny teal, almost 1950's style kitchen teal.
ReplyDeleteHey! I was googling gray striped coffee tables and you popped up...i would love to see a wood refinishing tutorial on how you refinished this table..even if you just wrote one to explain the steps you did..you should start a youtube channel :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Thank you, I'll jot that down for my future tutorials. I am doing one a month minimum!
DeleteI blogged about this beautiful table for inspiration today. I linked back to you and your site. I hope you will come and check it out.

LOVE THIS!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the table? Im looking everywhere for it
ReplyDeleteI see them all the time! Darn. Try, craigslist......thrift shops..... garage sales? It's a fairly common table. Figures that when you try and find it you can't get it! Good luck.....
DeleteI have had a crush on this table for a year. I have one that I intend to make just like it. I picked it up on the side of the road for free!
