Happy Halloween!
I'm already into my first big bag of candy and am sure I will need to get a second before the 31st. Of course Halloween is just an excuse to have candy around the house since we don't get any trick-or-treaters up here in the styxs.
A couple of months ago I revamped a great mid-century modern table, you can see it here two very different tables. I mixed up some homemade chalk paint in Behr's "glowing firelight" and finished it with a satin poly. My husband thought I was nuts and didn't think it would sell. Boy was he wrong! Not only did it sell fast, but I had quite a few people in afterward wanting to buy it, so I new I had to find another MCM table to paint orange. I picked up this little cutie at a garage sale for cheap. Sorry, I didn't get any before pictures, but the table tops were in that 60's veneer that looked more like wood grained contact paper, and the legs and spacers were pretty scratched up. I started sanding it and realized the legs and spacers weren't veneered and the wood was pretty cool, so I refinished them with Minwax Jacobean. I primed and painted the tops and then finished the whole thing with a gloss polyurethane. I don't usually use a gloss finish, but everyone loved the finish of the other table even though the shine was the glass tops. So what do you think? Sorry about the fuzzy picture, you're probably wondering what the little sign says. It says "You say I'm a witch like it's a bad thing". Cute huh.
