A End Table Redo For Dee

Hi, how are ya’ll?  Doing well I hope.  I recently picked up an end table and chest of drawers at a garage sale and I am re-furbishing them for my granddaughter, Deanna.

When I finished the end table I had to stop and share it with all of you as it turned out so cute.  Here’s the finished product.

My granddaughter, we call her Dee Dee, is in the process of remodeling her room in black, white, and a deep mauve which seems to be a fairly popular color combination. 

Dee loves pageants, big hair, and lots and lots of bling she is a true southern young lady. lol

She is now ten and still easy to please even though she is already acting like a teenager.  Here are some recent pictures.

Dee is a lovely, Christian, girl who is truly beautiful from the inside out and we are so proud of her.  I, of course, as Nonnie spoil her rotten every chance I get.

Okay, back to the end table I had to add some bling for Dee!  I found some scrapbook paper with French typography and decoupaged it on the top of the table and on the top drawer.  I then went to the Graphics Fairy and found a crown for my little beauty queen (she's won several beauty pageants not bragging just saying) and an ornate D.  Here’s how it looked after I applied all the layers.

It looked okay but needed a little something more.  So I added some jewels, and German glass glitter.

Of course with all that bling Dee loved it and can’t wait to get it in her room.

I painted the inside and outside of the drawers in that deep mauve.  I’m not quite finished as I still need to wax and distress it a little, but I just could not wait to share it with you. I hope you like it as much as Dee Dee does.

The chest is next and I have a few other pieces in the works and will be sharing with you soon.
