Sunny Yellow Chevron Table

This little gal is ready for some sun! I got this table a while ago, and was going to restore it, to its natural design...but do you ever get into one of those moods where you just want to cut something up...well thats what happened...so I cut it up...and it looks great!

Here is the before...

Here is what I (well hubby) cut off...

And what it looked like after...upside down but you get the pic...right?

A fresh couple coats of my FAV white, and some chevron stripes...

May I say this part was a pain in my rear end...after a few trial runs, hubby and I decided to just make a stencil out of cardboard...worked great!
Then used 2 in painters tape...And painted a thin coat of a super sunny yellow

And her sunny debut!

Sanded her down alot...I wanted the look of alot of wear and tear...

Sorry about all the pics...I just love the way she turned out!
Ooooh so I'm going to partaaay-ing at these places! (join me)

Well I know exactly what I want...some warm weather.
I'm going to vent for a second...I HATE THIS WINDY WEATHER!
Okay...ahhh...Now that thats out of the way. Here is a little something I worked on while I was without a computer.

Something inspired by the sring that I am craving.
I picked her up off of craigslist right around the corner from my house SCORE!
And gave her a little over haul...did I say little I meant BIG.

She was this horrible color "puky yellow" so I sanded her down and took a hammer and chisel literally to her nasty emblems...whew they left their mark for sure, hence the reason I used wallpaper to line her drawer fronts...

Quite pretty if I do say so myself!
(psssst...I might just keep this one;)
