POWW 117

Happy POWW!  Today is the day of the week we all get together and share our newest furniture makeovers.  I can’t wait to see what you have in store for me!

Before we get to that, I have a couple of things to share.  First of all, as you can see from the button in my sidebar, I am a finalist in the Philadelphia Home Show next designer contest!  I entered sort of on a whim, and am glad I did!  The other finalists are the amazing Dana of Circa Dee, and Michael of Inspired by Charm, who I don’t know yet, but follow on Pinterest along with 3 million other people. 😉  He has fabulous taste in pins, I do know that!

Secondly. recently I was interviewed by the lovely Jenai of Mymove.com and she shared a beautifully written article about my home and Holiday entertaining and decor.  Thank you so much for the beautiful article!  Click here to read the article.

And now to the party….
I have a simple little table to share with you today.   I bought this coffee table for $10 at a yard sale early in the fall…

I loved its shape and the cross bar on the bottom.  I tried to keep the leather top at first, but it just was not in great shape, so I decided to paint over it.  I sanded the piece lightly and gave it three coats of General Finishes milk paint in linen.  I lightly distressed the edges to make the details show up more.  And finally, I gave it a coat of clear wax for protection.   Here it is now!

I love this little coffee table!  It has such a versatile shape and finish and could work well in so many spaces!  I could not fit this piece into our barn space for our sale this coming weekend, so it will be available in January, most likely! 🙂

Now it’s your turn to share your latest!

RULES, please.

    Cassie,
    The coffee table turned out fabulous. I didn’t know you can paint over leather? At least I’ve never tried. Congrats on everything! Enjoyed your feature on mymove.com. Lovely Christmas decorations.
    Cheers,

    Hi Cassie – I love that table it looks beautiful!

    I’ve accidentally linked a project that isn’t furniture, and for the life of me I can’t see how to delete it! So if you can delete it from your end, go ahead! Sorry – got carried away!

    So here’s a ridiculous fact about me… when I was little, I was SO jealous of other little girls with bangs. I really wanted them but I thought they were something you were born with like blonde or brunette, curly or straight. I thought they just stopped growing at that length. No I was not in special education.
