Refinished Pedestal Table

This cute little table was sitting in my backyard rotting. Patiently waiting for me to do something with it. I had debated keeping it for myself and making it an outside table, but I seem to want to keep everything lately, and my house just isn't big enough to fit all the furniture I want to keep. I often tell my husband I need a bigger house to accommodate all of the furniture I want, and then he reminds me I will have to clean it......So I guess I will part with this cute little table.
And if you think she is ugly....just wait until you see the after....
TADA....
I love this little area of my yard. It used to have a stream with a pond at the end and goldfish....until.... I went to pick up the hose and instead it was a SNAKE!!! I have never ran out of something so fast in my life. Since we have lived here we have seen 20 snakes, and oh how I HATE the things. I thought if we turned off the water they would go away. Well I was wrong, I just about stepped on another one last week, and I found more snake skins. So, this once zen like garden has become a "jungle" because I am too scared to work over there. But hey on the bright side it takes good pictures!!
I painted the bottom of this table with a custom cream latex, so I don't have a paint name, and then I glazed it an oil based glaze! Ahhh...the glaze sure brings out all the fun details of this table! For more pictures head to my blog!

Kimberly Morgan on Sep 13, 2015Congrats on a beautiful tranquil space!!! I too hate snakes, luckily I love cats!!! Cats will clear your area. My husband & MNL hated them when we married. I missed them. I came home with 2 kittens. Within a week he was removing hooks from fishing gear so he could play to. He laughed so hard. My hard won MNL now has 4!!! & no snakes in her gardens.
