Remember this table from last week? You can read about the transformation process here: https://missmustardseed.com/2009/09/this-table-deserves-better/ I finally finished it yesterday! This poor little table had a horrible paint job that did not do it justice and this is what it looks like now. (And in case you’re wondering…no, I do not paint everything in blues & aquas!

I love the little detail on the side! The paint effect is subtle, but beautiful. Great job 🙂
Love the detail…makes all the difference
Wow…really beautiful! Love your work! I'll be in touch regarding that oaky kitchen I gotta paint!

Love your painted furniture! That blue/green teal is one of my favorite colors (though I don't have much if it around my house, go figure….)! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Come by again, I have more on the way! =)
I love the table blue – I also think using a blue wash adds character to the table. Kim W
