Hi You Guys! What a busy weekend we had and looks like another one heading our way again, now it’s a soccer game next Friday evening and Alex’s birthday party Saturday♥ Then Sunday and Monday to get packing for our birthday trip to Jamaica, I will be so happy to escape from this cold weather we have been having here in Pa. lots of sun but chilly, cold weather outside!
Last night I started to paint this magazine end table that was Mr. K’s mother’s at about 10:30 pm, right after Dancing with the Stars was over, at first I had painted it black and lately knew it would look so much better Cottage White by Behr! So I went to it and was painting until about 1:30 am. I got one coat on it after sanding it a bit'…
Before
Yes, I use the diningroom table to paint on, sure couldn’t paint outside and one thing I will say about this Behr paint is that there is no odor what so ever, believe me my husband would complain about it if it did have a smell to it!
After
I was going to just leave it all white and not distress it but Mr.K had bought me a detail sander two Christmas’s ago and I thought I’d practice with it a little. I’m still on the lookout for another type of end table, at GW I found two matching ones in good condition but they wanted $39.00 a piece for them, I really couldn’t believe it, so I passed on them. On the left is my husband’s chair on the other is a hunter green wing chair that is covered with a slipcover that I found at a yardsale, brandnew for $3.00, so I just tuck it in alot since it’s not really made for a wingchair! It is great for now until I get a wingback slipcover for it or paint the chair like I’ve seen in blogland lately, do I dare?
I forgot to say that this endtable is also a magazine rack which is on the back of the table…here is some distressing on the front…
The door…
I planned on using a glass knob but couldn’t find it, I know I put it somewhere because I only had one left, instead I used a shiny brass knob that I spraypainted with Krylon brushed nickel, I think it turned out really good!
Here’s the magazine rack, holds quite a few magazines too! I also think the table is from the 60’s or 70’s.
My new Pottery Barn catalog came in the mail today just in time to use here!
This is what I have on it, not a lamp because the chairs and endtable divide the diningroom and livingroom, there is a lamp on the other side of my husband’s chair. The cute bird I found at Michael’s on clearance for 2 something and the basket holds the remotes and pen and tablet, it’s one of three baskets that I found at TJMaxx for $12.99.
Hope you liked it!
I’ll be joining these great parties:

I love the way the black shows through the distressed areas. It's a great size in between the chairs. We have a similar table and they really store a lot. Looks great! I like the PB Catalog, too :)

Rondell- It looks great and you did a nice job with the sander...not too heavy -just right~ Have fun on your trip to Jamacia. You probably told me before (but I don't remember so slap me)...where in PA are you? I was born and raised in Bradford County. Hugs-Diana
Very cute! It's funny how we always want to change something black to white and something white to black.
xo,

It looks great!! I love the black showing through in places. I picked that PB catalog up today at their store. So many ideas swimming around in my head right now!! Got to get my back healed so that I can clear out the rest of the prim stuff and really start to decorated with my new style that I want so badly.

It turned out wonderfully! I think it looks so much better in white. I laughed when I read that you painted at 10:30 at night...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who does things at odd hours!
Hi Rondell,
You are so funny, painting until the wee hours of the morning....I think I can relate. We creative types have no sense of time when it comes to getting it done!!
I love your little table and the magazine rack on it is perfect.
hugs

Okay, so I guess you really have left the world of prim behind. All the changes look pretty. I am a prim girl through and through, but admit that the whites do look soft and lovely. I do miss seeing your prim decorating, and often scroll back through your old pics. You are missed in prim land:)
it looks great white-makes it fresh and new! how exciting is your jamaica trip, bet you're definitely looking forward to warmer weather!
I love it Rondell, I've been thinking of doing some painting myself. I have been thinking about changing my blog name. I'm making a change over from primitives like you. I'm not sure what I am anymore, I like Farmhouse, still love antiques. I also like Cottage. What advice do you have for me?

Love how this turned out!
LOVE this project...it looks wonderful!!!...You are the sweetest!!...putting my giveaway up!!!...THANK YOU..XO, Mariaelena
I turned out great! White furniture has such a clean fresh look!
great job on this piece! I have been converting a few of my black pieces to white also. Don't you just love that nickel spray paint? One of the best inventions ever!! Thanks for sharing this at Transformations and Treasures!
