Beach Cottage Inspired Side Table

by Kimberly Noelle
I found this side table at the Goodwill for 20 bucks. It had great small little details in the front, great condition, dovetailed and has a stone of some top. When I saw this one I new exactly what I wanted to do with it. The color was from Valspar in the shade Woodlawn Valley Haze in satin finish. Wow....This color is such an amazing blue shade. I'd love to paint everything in this color. LOL. It was an easy project too, because the wood was in such great shape I simply sanded it down a bit, Primed it, and put one coat of the Woodlawn Valley Haze on because it covered so well and I was going to shabby chic it anyway. I then sealed it with paint sealant, bought cute little white knobs and it was finished. I'm so happy with the results. It reminds me of something you'd find at a lovely little beach cottage. I'm pretty sure I was there, on the sand, with my cute little white knitted sweater reading the latest romance novel as I painted this (in my head of course.) : ) You can find the process and more photos at my blog... http://quirkycool.blogspot.com/2013/05/beach-cottage-inspired-side-table.html

    How do you make it look old

    I love this and have tried this past week to replicate the look and failed miserably. I thought I could do it by looking at your before and after but I must have missed several steps in between. I tried the link to your blog, but it appears to be broken. Is there a new link?

    The stone on top almost looks like sand.

    It is beautiful ! I think that God would be much more upset about people using Him to spew hateful, nasty comments. You added beauty to the world .
