Marine Blue Doggie Bed

Have you seen the cute dog beds people are making from little side tables? I've seen tons of cute ones on Pinterest lately. So one day while browsing my favorite thrift store, I ran across a neat side table that wasn't too expensive so I snatched it up. 

Of course...as usual...I forgot to take a before picture.  What is wrong with me???  So, just picture it brown if you need a before!

I painted it in Shabby Paints Marine Blue Chalked Paint. Such a pretty color! I finished it with Shabby Paints Varnish finish.  I actually have never used it before and don't sell it yet but had some and wanted to try it. My mom made the cute pillow inside. Precious!!  Here's another shot.

Oh...and bonus...this table has a lazy susan on the bottom of it!!  Why?  I have no idea!  But I thought it added to it's unique character!  Hopefully it won't bother the dog as it goes in and out.  It only turns if pushed and doesn't spin very fast so I think it will be fine.

My son insisted that I needed to put a dog in the picture. To show what it would look like when the doggie went to lay down in it...so here you go!

Haha!  So cute!  And even cuter...well, in my opinion.

This (the table and pillow only - not the stuffed animal or the cute kid) will be available for purchase at the Aspasians Arts and Crafts Fair in Rockwall, Tx this weekend!!

Peacock...No, Taupe Stenciled Desk

She started out looking like this...

 I blogged about how a friend texted one day asking if I wanted to buy a desk her neighbor hadn't sold at a garage sale.  I immediately went and got it because it was a great deal.  She's so cute!

She soon became this...

I painted her in Shabby Paints Peacock blue and put Black ReVax on her.  I absolutely loved her!! She went straight to my booth...and sat, and sat, and sat.  No one wanted to take her home!  Sad.

So I brought her home and loved on her some more.  Here she is now!

I can't figure out which I love more!!  Now she is wearing one Shabby Paints newest colors, Cali Taupe, and some worn white.  I stenciled her drawers to make her extra fancy!  She has dovetail drawers and her last owner got her from an aunt and estimates she's from the 1930's!!

She is waiting for her new owners and can't wait to be a beautiful desk for someone!

Happy Tax Day!!

Happy Tax Day!! Hoping for as few headaches today as possible! Luckily mine are done - thanks incredibly awesome husband!!
