Welcome back to Piece of Work Wednesday! For those of you newbies, POWW is where we get together and share our FURNITURE makeover. It can be something refinished, painted, reupholstered, or even a piece you built;
but it has to be furniture!
Today, my family room looks like this:
 |
| see that nice dark strip of dirt.... mental note to steam clean and rearrange area rug! |
and my playroom looks like this:
 |
| my kids made me a play-doh cake and sang happy birthday to me.... maybe they sensed my agitation at this chaos! |
We are getting the family room drywalled (it had faux wood paneling that we had painted). I can't wait for it to be finished- we are getting new crown molding as well, and of course a new paint treatment and perhaps a new furniture piece will be added to the mix, and maybe some older furniture will be redone. (wink, wink).
But for now, I have a little table to show you. I am working on the dresser that went with it now (which will be a different bold color!). I bought the nightstand and dresser for $30 and they are Thomasville faux bamboo, perfect for bold and glossy.

| it does have a drawer, i promise! |
I went through my paints, looking for inspiration and came across a glossy bold blue by Benjamin Moore called symphony blue. I used a tinted primer (also a Benjamin Moore product) and then gave it a few coats of the blue, and a new glamorous sparkly knob, and voila! FYI, it was very hard to get a good picture of it for some reason. I hope you get the idea. It looks very beachy regency (if that was a style) to me and would look great with golds, whites and blues.

Hi Cassie! Thanks for hosting. I've been away for a while and SO GLAD to be back! :) Love the table and the color! xo leanne.
Ok. Now that I love. I wouldn't think it would be my style, but you really pulled it off!
We had a snow day yesterday and all the schools were closed. I almost posted telling you it was only Monday lol. Thanks for hosting each week!
Thanks for hosting this linky party...I love seeing all the great ideas over here..The blue you used on this piece is so vibrant...I am loving vibrant colors lately. Can't wait to see you daughters room...the rug looks great!
Cassie, that it gorgeous! I was thinking "faux bamboo - yuck". But it really works when painted blue. I'll have to check out that color at BM.
Cassie, that blue is just perfection! We are on the same page once again...I found some bamboo nesting tables at Value Village the other day! This post got me excited about re-doing them. :)
Love that shade of blue! I get the beachy regency. You can create a new style if you want!
I just came in from working on a chair and thought I'd take a break.....I think it originally went with your little blue table!!! Hope to have mine finished tomorrow!
I love the blue used on the side table. Very cool color and it goes with the piece perfectly! Thanks for hosting!
Can't wait to see how your family room turns out. How nice to be working with a blank slate! And I'm sure your kids will be happy to get their playroom back (and their sane mommy!) ;)
I get to join for the first time this week! Woo-hoo!
I'm loving faux bamboo at the mo. Trying desperately to convince my Mum to try it in her beach house though she's not feeling it. Good luck with your house mini-remodel.
Wow! Crown molding? Lucky you! The little table is super cute! Can't wait to see the dresser! How sweet of the kids to make you a cake! :)
Oh my gosh, I had that same Thomasville style 9 drawer dresser that I picked up on the side of the road. I painted my black.
LOVE it!
LOVE....LOVE...LOVE that color and the style of the table. The knob totally pops! I have to say, I am liking the green in the playroom too...
Thanks for hosting....
Take care,
Lisa
This has to be one of my all time favorites of yours!, the color is perfect and I love the sparkly drawer pull!
Love the blue. The details stand out so much more.
That nightstand is so beautiful!!!!
I like the blue "Beachy Regency" piece! Very nice! Great blue and the "glam" knob is a nice touch. Was it really your birthday today or were your kids just playing?
I love the table. The color is so bold and fun, great job!
Cassie, this might be my favorite piece you have ever done. Love!
