And the outcome...

The time has finally come to share about the end tables I did...maybe I should say it as "table"...just singular...I was hoping to get to the second one done this week...but didn't happen...not even close...

Now this was...my 1st little refinish project...all on my own...from start to finish...

Well it kind of made hubby get all bent out of shape a little bit...just a little bit I promise...only because I was using his tools...and in HIS garage...it was different for him...I think he was waiting for me to ask for help...but no surrey...didn't one time except the initial "how to use the electric sander" on the table top...obviously most had to be hand sanded...the legs especially...

...In the end...he did say that was proud of me...hmmm...he waited until I was completely done though {he was supportive and loved my idea...I just don't he think ever imagined me in "his space"...I think once I told him about how I wanted to refinish the tables...he imagined HE would be doing it...}

NOPE honey...this was "MINE" {as my Hayley would say:)}..."MINE"..."MINE"..."MINE"...I was up for the challenge...but my hubby...oh...a funny little guy let me tell you:)...

The Before...

And the tools I "borrowed" from hubby...well I just realized in this picture that was "my tool"...I purchased...not quite yet using his electric one to make the top go quicker...my hubby said he wanted a picture of me working on it...personally I think he was checking up on me...because he took pictures...then cleaned out my car for me...then vaccuumed my car...you get the picture...And do you want to see the results...don't get your hopes up too big in case you expected more from me....although I love how it turned out...really brightens up our room now...loving how just even this color has already changed our room...

Now my task is finding some lamps for these tables...hmm...haven't quite found them yet but only have looked a couple of places weeks ago...perhaps when we are back from the beach I will have more time...BUT our lighting really is horrible in our living area...so I do need to be a little more proactive in finding something...my trouble is...I kind of have a picture of what I would like...well until I find it...just "anything" isn't going to work...all in due time I tell myself...

Yippee my first refinish project!!! Hope you enjoyed...I really am anxious to get done with the other table and get to that dresser in my bedroom...can't wait!

Blessings to you...
