Auction Find Gets a Summery Coral Glow

by Doreen Cagno

I found this cute table at a local auction! When I saw those cut out details, I knew I had to have it - even though it had seen many better days! I think it must have been stored in a barn and had paint dripped all over it! But, I knew with a good cleaning and some fresh paint - it would look amazing!

I won the table for just $15 - yay! I took it home, cleaned it up, and went to find the perfect paint color! I knew I wanted a coral shade and found just what I wanted with Benjamin Moore's Coral Gables.

After the first coat, my son said it looked like Pepto Bismol!!! But, the second coat really brought out the true coral shade! I just love how it turned out!

Here's a close up of those cut out details! They were kind of a pain to paint, but totally worth it!

I also had to share another recent find - this barn wood planter box with a leather strap handle! And, don't the coral petunias look perfect with the table!

This coral table has a new home on my screen porch!

so pretty! Coral is one of my favourite colours, and the flowers stand out even more on it.

  @B. Enne I'm really loving coral this summer! I'm mixing it with aqua in one space and green in another!
