When the husbands away

The wife will paint???? 
That's right I painted and I painted something I've been wanting to paint since we bought it...but someone liked it. So while he was away I painted my kitchen table. 

Just a little back story, we bought this table for like $80 from Craigslist, it's travelled everywhere with us and it has taken a beating. To me it was ugly...it needed to be changed. 

On Saturday a friend and I went to Home Depot and on a whim bought some paint, I came home put the kids down and got to work... 

This was before (excuse the messy floor I vacuum once a day)...please agree it's not a great looking table!?!?


I decided to go with grey because I felt is was more elegant for a kitchen table. Agree?

And here is the semi-finished product. I had to put 2 coats of seal on it so it would be super protected against a 3 and 1 year old! 
So the reason I say semi-finished is because I am debating whether I should keep the legs black or paint them a cream color. I think the black looks nice but I think a cream would look good too!! Uh decisions will be the death of me.  

Well that's all I painted. I wish we had more furniture that I could paint and that I actually had the time to paint more furniture, it is so much fun and relaxing!! 

Until Michael leaves again...
