I posted this makeover earlier this month and took the table to M-I-L's assisted living apartment. She loved it but yesterday we had to move her back into the nursing home. I'm sad to say there is no room for the table and back it goes into storage.  Oh, well!

Table revival

It'd been packed away at the side of the shop for over a year.

I knew what I wanted to do with it but I didn't have the time to do it nor a place to put it when it was finished...



...until now. My M-I-L needed a small eating/domino table in her new assisted living apartment. I couldn't wait to supply her with one!




So I dug out the table and painted the top white with swirling black sides, then I added wild roses and leaves...



...and shabbied everything slightly so M-I-L wouldn't feel bad when accidental scraps and dents occurred.



I love one stroke leaves.



The wild roses are kinka one stroke. Maybe they're carnations. Whichever, they're pink.



And M-I-L loves pink!

    Cher! That is beautiful! You did a great job. I'm guessing those aren't stickers. ;)

    Oh, my gosh! You are SO talented! What do you mean one stroke? (There are so many inappropriate things running through my head right now) Those flowers have such depth! You just amaze me!

    You put a lot of work into the table and it turned out so nice. Too bad she can't use it now. I'm sure there will be a need for it, eventually.
