Restyled Table

I found a little table in the deep recesses of the thrift store!  It had been covered in mismatched paint and hidden from view underneath several layers of clothing and accessories! 
"Why?", you ask.

 Because in this thrifty, the little table was being used in... a make-shift dressing room area!  
Next to it was a mirror and chair!  

Very convenient! And very lucky for me because no one, and I mean NO ONE, was looking under all that stuff for tables!  No one but me, that is!!


I grabbed that little cutie up, slapped it in the buggy, and headed to the check-out!


Along the way many stopped me to ask where I had found the little table!
Or the all important question, was I going to buy that!  


Well I managed to get it in the car without further questions!!

On the way home the wheels were turning in my brain... what to do, what to do! 
I really like the stained wood top look  mixed with shabby paint, but really this one was beyond saving for stain!  Unless I spent way more time on the make-over than I wanted to spend!  
So it was decided... PAINT!!


A lovely shade of vanilla ivory was used.   It was okay, clean, serviceable, did I say just okay!
Not happy, not happy...still looking for that stained wood look...

sooooo..
I painted the top in a rich deep chocolate color!!   
(Did y'all notice my use of candy colors?  Yes, the niece and nephew have been visiting!)


Now I'm happy!  After a little distressing, waxing and buffing, the 'cutie' is ready for her debut!

What have you restyled lately?

Have a Blessed Day!!  And see ya down the junkin' road!!

A DIY Project and Thank You

First things first...THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!  
Why you ask? 
Because I'm gettin' sooooo many friends lately and visitors to my little blog!
And on this V-DAY EVE I want to share the love and say a big THANK YOU!!
(buster brown)

Now for a little maintenance...if you have friended me and I have not returned the friendship please, PLEASE, leave a note and I will, promise, no hesitation! 
I try to visit all who drop by but I'm afraid I've missed some very important people!  
 VIPs are most important!  Between the Google Friends and the new LINKY Followers it is keeping me very busy just trying to keep up with all the new gadgets and thingys!!

And for my DIY project...
I am so excited to share this today. Y'all know my love for chalkboard paint...and you can read about it here,  Wow, Thrifty Showoffs

(southernjunkin.blogsspot.com)

( This is very funny because throughout my teaching years I was extremely allergic to chalk dust and no one person in our school system was more excited than me when we started using less chalk and more electronic devices!! )

(southernjunkin.blogspot.com)

Recently, my friend and me were shopping one of our favorite haunts and located several clipboards.  At the time I did not have a clue as to how I would use these... but the price was right and so into the bag they went! 
Last week with chalkboard paint already mixed and ready to use I pulled these four boards out of storage! Slapped on some paint...and voila...


The boards looked a little 'plain'... so with burlap (another favorite) on hand... I fashioned bows...


A button was added to each bow...


Can you say...Pleased as Punch with the outcome!!



Off to the 'space' to add another touch of whimsy...



Partying today with friends... Drop by to visit and share all the fun!

See ya down the junkin' road!!
