I'm painting my way thru a stash of small tables and chairs in the garage.
Trying out new paints and techniques. I never quite know how they'll come out in the end, but that's probably the part I love the most about this gig I got going.
Here's how this little girl looked when I got her.
I named her Lyssa.
Like you do.
And like Bethany, who was found at the same time, I gave Lyssa a quick coat of white spray paint and called it a day.
Or a year.
But I knew she had great potential as a funkified, distressed little number.
I actually tried to decoupage some blue and green scrapbook paper on her top.
Twice.
And gave it up.
Sometimes Pinterest tutorials fall vaguely short of the ballpark.
Or the state.
What's cool is that the residual paper and modge podge sanded down to a mottled, textured surface that looks AWESOME with a few coats of DIY custom green chalky paint.
After waxing and buffing, it looks seriously fab. Can't get it to show in the pics. :(
Lyssa is available to locals (Fort Wayne IN)! See The Serendipity House for more info.
Did you meet the blushing side table and the chippy milk paint table? I have a thing for side tables evidently.
Don't forget.....would love to have you follow me on Bloglovin'! And would love to follow you back :)

Lovely! I love the green on top. It's a wonderful transitional piece that can be used so many places in your home or on a porch. You made it even more fun!
His blessings!

What a beauty and a fabulous transformation. I love the colors you chose and the pretty accessories you added. Paint is magical.
I just love the old style of that table. It looks so cute in the blue. Very cute. Thanks for sharing. Karie
Lyssa is definitely a bohemian hippie chick from way back. You have brought her back to life with the funky colors!
Love the green top with the blue. It really puts an unexpected twist to the piece. Very pretty!
I just love the combination of the 2 colors - and the style of this table is too adorable - beautiful job -

I have two tables exactly like that i had painted white and are now stored in the attic. I need to get those cuties down and repaint them. Thanks for reminding me how cute they are.

Love the re-do! What a difference a coat of paint makes. I bought a similar table at Target (the new Threshold line). Wish I knew how to do all these artsy things that everyone does- agghh.
It does look seriously fab!! I love it!!

Turned out very cute! I love the two colors. I know decoupage can be tricky, especially on bigger stuff.
This looks great! Side note: I am in love with blue hydrangeas and they make it that much better. :) Love the two colors and distressing!

Great job! I've heard so many furniture flippers talk about wax. I need to learn the A-B-C's of it and get with it! (Mine haven't even had the quick spray paint yet!)
