Something old, something blue

The kitchen is a huge project. And on my best days I am only up for something little. What something little you ask? How about transforming an old table into something new with a bit of teal paint? I should really have prefaced this with - I found this amazing throw pillow that made me want to transform my living room. If you have known me for a while you know that my living room has always been black and white with a bit of red. Well, I bet you are just as ready for a change as I am. What are the new colors? An assortment! Teal- coffee table, Purple - love seat (from my wonderful mama.), Green/Sage- perhaps we need a new couch as we gave two of our three couches to James/Elisa/Wes, Gold-highlighted on the table (but not quite yet) as well as with some aged brass antiques that have been handed down to me, and Deep Red/ the current curtains.



Another thing that some of you know and some of you don't, is that I like to get way ahead of myself. Currently the living room is filled with kitchen cabinets that may or may-not be in the kitchen by December. Let's hope for the best there. In other words this living room redo might happen in small items like the coffee table and throw pillows but will not be fully executed until spring. So don't get your panties in a twist if you don't see any progress on that front for a while.

An explanation about the title- my great-grandmother made this table out of an old washing machine and a piece of plywood.

  2. So, is the (now) teal coffee table made of wood? It almost looks like metal in the picture...

  3. Hi Patty,

    The table is still the exact same except for the paint. I am still planning on adding a bit of gold leaf doe good measure.

  4. Camille,

    Thanks for the new blog. I will have to add it to my blogroll since it is themed after my second favorite color. The first being Copper.
