I thought I'd stop by to show you what I've been working on,this week. Besides trying to finish my series of artwork, I've been working on a coffee table project. Last week I had mentioned that I was looking into decoupaging my coffee table after it had been pretty beaten up. Well, after an unlucky trip to the fabric store, I decided to paint it instead. Not only will I get something closer to what I want, but it is a more frugal alternative. Anyway, this is what is looked like before.
When I bought this table, I loved it. I loved the inlay look and the mid-century/ West Elm lines. What I didn't like is that it was slightly beaten up, but since I have 2-year-old twins, I figured it was just gonna get beat up more. Well, it did. Now that I have my home for sale I decided that the room needed to be a bit more tidy, yet practical so I decided to paint the table, so that hopefully it looks nicer.
Here is the progress. Full DIY instructions to come when the project is finished.
Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of the taping, but you get the idea.
