This table surely has seen better days – so I had to wash it down and remove a bit of the old painting first.
After that it was ready for black spray paint. I planned it all to be black, but then the idea of keeping the inside of the legs white.
So I put on some tape on the table legs and afterwards painted it white
During which the outside light dimmed and I forgot to take pictures.
The final result is here though:
I have been working on this project for quite a while. The bench is actually an old childhood memory that my grand father was restoring before he passed away 1,5 year ago.
I took it in and promised myself to make it look special…
First I gave it a good 3 layers of paint.
Then I pasted black/white photos on the sites.
Lastly I took a piece of a sweater I refashioned during winter. The piece of turtleneck was wrapped around the back of the bench – tied up with black ribbon and a small bow at the middle.
Completed the look I wanted and gave it a whole new life
Granted, this was by no means great looking from the start – but I saw a possibility for it in my home..
First of all it was painted – then followed a long break where I went looking for the right fabric. And the right furniture nails.
Found them finally two different places- so I could finally make the finishing touches. It looks quite changed! Who’d ever have thought this looking at it before.
