I have been looking for a piece of furniture to paint black since I first read the post that Rhoda on Southern Hospitality did giving detailed directions. You can see her post here.
This weekend I found the perfect little table! It was only $5.00 at a garage sale. The table was still on the flatbed trailer when we drove up, so I was the first one to spot it. I couldn't believe the lady only wanted $5.00 for it! I couldn't get over there fast enough to claim it! It had even been prepped for painting and was sanded as smooth as a babies behind! Here is the before picture. I love the legs on the table, and the height of it.
Since it rained the entire weekend, I couldn't get out and spray paint...so I bought a can of satin black by Krylon and painted it with a brush. It now has a new home at the end of my sofa. I don't have much space, so it was a perfect fit!
This project is another one of the many benefits I've gotten from blogging. Before, I probably wouldn't have thought of painting furniture black! There are lots of other bloggers that have painted projects too, and all of them have been an inspiration to me! I love the way the 'new to me' table looks in our living room.s ahead of time? I love the scheduling feature!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.

Good Morning Diane,
ReplyDeleteI would love to find a darling little table like that. You did a great job on it. I am like you, I never would have painted things black and/or even known you just spray paint everything without blogging. I absolutely LOVE how everything is now looking in my home and things that had never had paint are getting finished!
Great job on your little side table.
It looks great painted! You certainly did well and what a perfect spot to put it. I wouldn't have thought of painting before blogging either. Now I just have to find something to paint LOL!
ReplyDeletetake care,
Dawn
What a beautiful table and paint job, Diane!!! It looks wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI've purchased a few cans of spray paint and well, I'm painting, too!!! Can't say what just yet!
~Blessings,
Jan
Hi Diane...Fabulous deal you picked up and it being already prepped is remarkable. Love it!

I was perusing a blog this morning and saw a key mounted on toile in a frame that looked so beautiful and thought I would share it with you. http://fortheloveofmyhome.blogspot.See what you think. It is lower in her posts....
Have a great creative day!

ReplyDeleteGLORIOUS FIND!! It has such pretty details and looks marvelous all dressed in black. I bet everytime you look at it you have to smile! What a bargain!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out sooo good! I love tables with two shelves. It gives you more space to decorate. What a great find!
ReplyDeleteDiane,
ReplyDeleteI love your painted table. The black is just perfect. I too have been getting some great ideas from fellow bloggers. I have an iron bench that I am getting ready to paint red! I think I will have to be on the lookout for for a little table to paint black!
Can't wait to see what goodies you found!

First, before I forget AGAIN! I want to comment on your new header. I noticed it several days ago and MEANT to say something, but then after reading your post, forgot. Old age, I know!
ReplyDeleteNow, you are amazing! That table is precious. I simply cannot believe that you could take something that abused and old and make it so beautiful! Every time I've ever tried to do anything with paint, I make a horrible mess.
Great job on the table. I'm looking at my coffee table right now, and the urge is coming over me to do something with it. You bloggers are such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I love your little $5 table!! I would have snapped that up in a second too. It looks great black..so glad others are getting inspiration from my black painted projects too. It's been such a fun thing to do.
ReplyDeletethanks for the mention,
Rhoda
You table is so cute and it turned out so well!!!
ReplyDeleteNot bad for 5.00
Diane

What a great find, the table is great painted black. I know I'm a spray paint junky, just love all the different colors. Haven't been on for awhile and have missed reading your blog. We sure couldn't go junkin' together, we'd be fightin' over it. Simply love the wicker. Hugs, RoseMarie
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, that table is so beautiful! I can't wait to read all of your blog...right now, I'm preparing to EVAC. Where in MS are you? I am in Diamondhead, MS just above Bay St Louis. Everyone here is panicked with the latest forecast...right at us! Stay safe, I'll be in touch later.

Hi Diane, Great $$$, all the sanding done already, and A beautiful piece of furniture too. Good Job girl!! I love it, it looks great. Blessings, nancy
ReplyDeleteperfect indeed! I love it! you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
ReplyDeleteThe table looks great! I'm going out to my garage to find something to paint black. I have a couple end tables that need paint.
Brandee :-)
Wow! It looks terrific! You are so good with making little things into something really special!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I like the new banner.
ReplyDeleteDiane, your "new" table is wonderful. I've done these little makeovers on a few things, too. It's amazing what paint can do for a piece of "thrifted" furniture!
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up this evening. My friend left this afternoon and we're leaving in the morning. I'm taking my new laptop, to try out at the lake. Haven't tried internet there since it became available, this summer.
Have a great weekend!
That really looks great.
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky garage sale treasure finder, Diane! The table looks great and the black paint really jazzes it up. You're right - I never would have thought to paint something like that black either, but it made the piece look so elegant.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pat
oh, I love this little table! Great job!! I will be painting some tables this week also, I cant wait to share them! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is sooo sophisticated. I just love little tables like that....in black, red, white,, yada yada rofl. Paint rocks. cherry
ReplyDeleteThat table looks beautiful and it looks like you found the perfect place for it. Great job!
ReplyDeleteg'day Diane
ReplyDeleteit's gorgeous, fancy finding it all rubbed down and ready to go, too good lol! I love the way it's turned out, and looks fab at the end of your sofa, I love little tables there for your tea (or wine!). Black seems to make everything look so expensive, can you imagine just how much that would of cost in a high end boutique. A whole load more.
glad you liked my curb finds...you must have a go, I can't tell you how good it made me feel, hahaha
Sarah
Diane, I love your new header with your "fresco'd" pictures ... and your new table is just perfect in its new home. It never ceases to amaze me what you can find at yard sales for practically nothing.
ReplyDeleteYou found some great buys at the thrift store, too. Makes me want to make a trip to Meridian!
Sincerely,
Janie
That table looks awesome!! I love how you painted it black like that!
ReplyDeleteThe table was a steal for $5.00 and it just looks fantastic painted black.
ReplyDeleteI've got to learn to garage sale and shop at thrift stores. The finds are unreal.
WOW!! I so need to find a table for my family room...if you find another one like that, let me know. ;-)
