Sometimes a table needs to be blue…

Sometimes a table needs to be blue…

Recently my senior year of college began. With old roommates moving out and new ones moving into the apartment everything was jumbled. I didn’t know what was staying and what was coming for awhile! For a few weeks I was eating dinner on my coffee table until I got a table and 4 chairs kindly donated to me by two different people! Because the table and chairs were very old I knew that something exciting needed to be done with them.

I was able to finally put my amazing goodwill find to use: a frog fan. I set it on one of the old chairs I would eventually be painting.

Layer one! It was nice to have help!

 I forgot to mention that i purchased the paint at Lowes for a really good price! The exact color is called: Caruso from Oympic paint company

The painting continues:

 

 Fyi: don’t walk on plastic bags that have wet paint dripped on them….

 

 

 

 

 I found that painting the chairs were a much more difficult task compared to the table. Violet Eclipse is the paint I used for two of the chairs (and hopefully some future designs on the table).
