Striped Table

   I found this little table & chair set on Craigslist... It was cheap, so I didnt exactly know what I was going to do with it yet, but it was a deal & you know I cant pass up a deal!! 

It was pretty yucky :( 

I think the table is made of concrete because this is the heaviest table Ive ever moved! 

Anyway!! 

I painted it first... Kind of an antique white, then I left it for a few days, I thought I would make it all chippy white, but been there done that, how many chippy white tables do I need!?! And, because Im the most indecisive person ever- im not satisfied until Ive painted or stained something five times. 

So, I decided to stripe it! I did one wide stripe in the middle & two skinnier stripes on the sides. I just took my level & drew a faint line & taped off. 

But back up a minute... My inspiration was my dishtowels believe it or not! 

I had just a little bit of paint left that I planned on using (which of course I ran out after one stripe) so plan B- because of course Im doing this at 11:00pm & I couldnt possibly put it off until tomorrow, so I had to mix my own paint :( 

The stripe on the left is what I wanted it to be, but I ended up with a bluish-gray instead. Patience is not a trait I possess remember :( 

It still turned off cute though! I think It'd be a cute playroom table :) 

And a side by side...

Once I figure out what Im doing with it Ill show pics of it decorated... Oh ya- and the chairs! 

Thanks for looking!
