Turquoise and White Table

I love how this table turned out!

It started out brown with a parquet top that was in pretty rough shape.

 

 I knew I wanted it to be turquoise, so I painted the legs 

 and apron of the table.

 

 I used a very dark wax and distressed it quite a bit.

 Then I painted the top white and used a natural wax.

 Really, really love this one!

In fact, I like it so much that I think I will keep it
for a coffee table in my living room,
because I am planning a small redo here soon!

Furniture Project: Turquoise Desk

Cute little desk someone recently gave me.

Definitely needed a facelift, however!

Blue, green, or a combination?

 I settled on mixing the 2 colors and using a dark wax.

 You can get such a nice, one-of-a-kind piece when you mix your own paint!

Sometimes I have trouble letting a piece of furniture go,
and this one would have looked pretty good in my living room.

But, alas, I have no room.
Something else would have to go, and I'm not ready for that yet.
