Painted Magazine/Side Table

Remember this free find…

Well, I finished painting it and have decided to use it as my night stand at the Island home.  Since I have no idea when I am going to be back at the house, I quickly style it and took a photo so I could show you.  What do you think?

I picked up the sample size paints at ACE in Honolulu Blue and cloud white. I used painters tape to mark off the stripes in random widths.  Once the paint was dry, I sanded with my sanding block so the lines weren’t so straight.  Then I mixed equal parts water with the cloud white paint and did a quick white wash over the entire piece. I can’t wait to take it to the Island Home.  I think it will look perfect in the master bedroom.

New /Old Finds

August 3, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Last weekend while we were at the Island Home, I found some lovely furniture pieces.  Three new pieces …new to me that is.  One of the pieces was sitting beside the road.  After driving by it several times and asking everyone in the car over and over if they thought it was for sale, my Aunt finally said just stop and ask someone.   Being the brave soul that I am, I sent my son to the door to ask the owners if it was for sale.  The house was empty.  So we asked the neighbor across the street.  She said it had been sitting there for a few days and that we should just take it.  So we did, with the understanding that if the owner wanted it back, we would return it. I know it sounds crazy but that is just the way it is on the Island. Then the neighbor invited me to her house to look at some furniture she wanted to get rid of and I walked away with two more pieces. Three new pieces for free! You can’t beat that…Yes, they need some work but I love them. I have lots of ideas swimming in my head but for now take a look….
