Blue Montana Sky Drum Table

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! :) Sharing here:
