Fairy & Roses Side Table

Hello everyone! Hope you have had a great week so far.

Today I'm sharing an oval side table I recently re-finished.

Here's the after:



And here is the before:


I picked this table up at a local thrift store and it was in excellent shape.  No dings, scratches, and it was solid wood! No particle board. 

The only problem I had with it was...well...it just wasn't shabby enough! So, I painted it Duck Egg Blue, trimmed with some silver acrylic paint, decoupaged some tissue roses and a fairy onto the top, waxed it, distressed it, antiqued it, waxed it again, and finally added a darling little pink rose knob! 

I love it!









I'll be giving a tutorial soon on decoupaging with tissue paper. Let's just say you have to do it veeery carefully. lol

Hope you enjoyed my little table.  Have a wonderful day.
