Good Morning my BEAUTIES! What an EXCITING week it has been here at ART IS BEAUTY. If you missed my BIG ANNOUNCEMENT you can see that by clicking HERE!

I am also excited because today is Themed Furniture Makeover day this month's theme is Small Tables.

This was the table I started with. I am from Grand Rapids Michigan which was Furniture City. We had tons of furniture companies here one of which was IMPERIAL Furniture.

This table was great....except the top. The veneer was beyond saving. It just peeled right off. So in order to work on it I peeled all the rest of the damaged veneer off and then sanded the top smooth.

Once the top was done it was time to paint. I had never used Milk Paint before.....EVER...I finally got to try some in General FInishes PERSIAN BLUE

and I LOVED it. I have to say I was quite smitten with it. I painted the whole table and then used some Gold Metallic paint to add some PIZZAZ to the piece. I just put a couple grain sack stripes down slightly off center to give it a little pop.

I am also happy to say that it SOLD right away and is now enjoying its new rejuvenated life in someones home. Hopefully making their day BEAUTIFUL! Be sure to check out all my bloggy friends who are showing off their table makeovers too.

Loveeeeee it! I am scouting around for an old table I can try my first project on. I know I can do it, but terrified at the same time (I come from three generations of professional furniture refinishers).
