Blue Montana Sky Drum Table

May 24, 2012 by Cassie 53 Comments

PinterestFacebookTwitter

This week is the week of working on projects I found while with Gwen.  What can I say?  After I bought them, I got to work!  I found this table at the Salvation Army for $10.  I am not sure the base is original as it is sort of awkwardly large in my opinion, but I liked its quirkiness.  I felt that we were one and the same, this table and me…. quirky, and having a bottom that is slightly oversized compared to its small top. He he.

So you see that front foot?  Yeah.  I broke it when I was shoving the table into my car.  Oops.  I glued it as best I could, but the metal was slightly bent, too…. Oh well… quirky table.  I knew I was going to distress it, and it was still quite solid and sturdy, so I rolled with it.

I didn’t sand it at all.  I simply wiped it clean, and went right to work with CeCe Caldwell’s Blue Montana Sky.  I gacve it a couple hours to dry and applied a second coat and allowed that to dry.  I distressed it with 150 grit paper.  I love that this paint distressed beautifully, and adheres SO well.  Once all that was done, I waxed it with CeCe’s clear wax, which is totally safe to use- NON toxic, people!  It goes on really easily, too.  After the wax dried, I buffed the table with a rag, put the hadware back on, and voila!

Just goes to show that you can be larger on the bottom, slightly awkward, but dressed right, you can still look fabulous! ๐Ÿ™‚ Sharing here: The Shabby NestPinPinPhotobucketPinDecorating InsanityPinPinfive days five ways | feature friday free for allPinMaking LemonadePin

    I have the match to your table in my basement so I think it is original. I have the same body shape and it’s so frustrating!!!! Hope you are having a great time with Ali!

    I also have the same table and it’s original! Duncan Phyfe is the style. You need the base that large so it won’t tip over! Your makeover is fantastic! I love it in that color….mine is getting painted soon, I can tell you!

    Love the color!! How did you like the CeCe’s products. I haven’t tried them yet but I really love the color selection. I just wish someone closer carried it. I don’t prefer ordering supplies online….paying shipping kills me!

    Hey Cassie…Love this drum table!! I have a fun tip you can try next time you distress using Cece. Just take a damp rag after the paint has dried and distress away…its so easy you can’t believe it…no more sanding!!! Thank you for the shout out:-) Julie

    Love you make over Cassie. I did a drum table like that in red with a dark stain over it….so beautiful. Don’t you just love the CeCe Paints? We sell a ton of it in our store and online. They are so easy to use. Keep up the good work. Leslie

    I love that color! How do you find Cece’s as opposed to Annie Sloan’s? I’ve still yet to take up a brush (sticking with spraying for now), but I like to accumulate knowledge for the future:)

    Cassie – your table turned out great. I just finished a drum table too; for a minute there, I thought we had painted it in the same color, but then I realized I used Smoky Mountain instead:) Great minds…

    The table looks great, where are you going to put it? And I think that is the first time anyone successfully made me feel better about being large on the bottom. I think.

    Oh my, this could have been me writing this post about breaking something on a piece of furniture before I even get it home. Love the color, love the finish. Blue Montana Sky is one of my favorites, and I have a similar sized table I am doing in the same color! I started it while I was doing the paint demo at PFM, and well, it needs to get finished. Thanks for the inspiration!
