Turquoise

Friday, January 20, 2012

Each project is different and we can't knock everyone of them outta the park so to speak and that's how I feel about this sofa table.
I like it - I just don't love it.  When I got this table it was definitely lost in the 80's.
I started out by taking all the wrought iron off and giving it a little sanding, then covered it in turquoise.

 Then I added "Welcome" to the center and distressed it.

At this point I had started adding the stain/glaze mixture.

Here are some close-ups.  I decided not to heavily distress my typography this time.

Here she is in all her glory.  Sorry about the dark photo, it was late when I finally got done.

    I love it! And I know it will go fast. I wish I could put something turquoise in my house...

    Great job. I really like the legs with the "pumpkin-like" tops. The color is lots of fun too. The table is a great size for a family room and I suspect someone will snap it up.
