Red & White Striped Tables Redo
Tuesday, February 10, 2015 10:51
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
I figured that Valentine's Day was a great excuse to share this cute pair or tables I redid last year.
I'm so excited for spring to get here so I can get back to refinishing some awesome pieces we've had in storage for a while.
I spent most of last spring/summer redoing pieces for the nursery and loved loved it but I'm excited about branching out with different colors & idea I've been cooking up 
These little tables were given to me by my clinical instructor once we started talking about all my furniture redos and all that one day.
They were in need of a little TLC and some awesome color.
So I channeled my inner Razorback fan and decided to go red & white with them.
I gave them a good sanding down before starting- which is always fun with those nooks and crannies.
Be sure to take a damp rag after sanding and get all the dust off.
I painted them with a bold red enamel paint that I just love.
You may remember the same color for my red & white dresser I redid forever ago.
It finishes with a gorgeous glossy sheen that I just love.
After the red base coat was applied,
I decided to add a bit of contrasting pattern to the tops to try and modern them up a bit.
So I taped off stripes with painter's tape and painted glossy white stripes on just the top shelves.
After letting the coats of paint dry, I took my sander and distressed the edges and corners of both pieces for a rustic finish.
I think these would look so cute in a little boy's bedroom, don't you think?
I finished them off with my favorite furniture wax for a protective finish and then they were off to their new homes.
I love the contrasting white & red together and makes me miss my own little boy's fun red bedroom!!
Check out the side by side before & after pictures to get an idea of the amazing transformation!!
Ah. My heart just loves a good before & after!!
I can't wait to get back in the game and share some fun pieces that I”ll be tackling soon (weather permitting).
Hope you guys are having a great week!!
