Front Porch Update

I had a small little table and some chairs on my porch, but it needed updating.
This small table was black, so I started by spray painting it red.
Even painted red, it still was just TOO SMALL for the area.
I found a piece of wood in my basement and thought it would make a great table top.
So I first spray painted it the same red as the table. Fist coat I could see some of the brown still coming through, which gave me an idea I saw on HGTV.
So after the red dried, I spray painted light areas of black, and then after only a minute, took sandpaper and went over the black, to make it look more weathered.
This is after and sealed. Picture doesn't show it justice, it really turned out cute. And I ended up turning the table upside down, so you could still see the cool design that was on top.
Now I needed something to put on top of the table. I have had this piece of tan marble, (a paper weight), so I knew I could use it with the Golf Bag knick knack I wanted to put out there. We live on a golf course, so kept with that theme.
I mixed brown and black paint together, then painted it on with a paintbrush, and wiped off with a sponge to get this darker marbled effect. This really turned out nice too.
I used a little metallic paste on the knick knack to bring out the color a bit.
Then I Gorilla Glued it onto the NOW darker paperweight.
Added a few little Golf Books and WALLA ~
Added a few pillows I had, to match the design on the bottom of the table.
Loving my new little front porch update. Now I can't wait to hang out here.
