A Little Project

I don't get out of the house much these days (you know because of the newborn who sleeps and eats all the time) so I've gotten a bug to paint and rearrange and redecorate things. Jeff loves this, let me assure you:). Ha!  I have several things in my garage waiting for me to attack them.  Pinterest has fueled most of this I'm sure:). 


Anyway, I've had this sad little end table forever that I got at salvation army for nothing. I finally got to painting it Saturday.

I decided to use a sample paint can that I had gotten to try for the nursery.  The paint is Benjamin Moore Silver Mist (kind of a gray/blue color).   It's really beautiful on walls so I knew it would be great for this piece.  I lightly sanded first but since I'm pretty impatient I don't ever take much time on this step, then I painted most of the dresser with a small paint roller (had to use a small brush on the little detailed part at the top),  replaced the hardware with some I already had,  distresed a bit with some sandpaper, and then used rub on poly to make sure it would be protected.   This was an easy, fun little Saturday project especially since it was such a beautiful day so the kids were occupied outside:).

I replaced an older little side table with this new one in our family room.  LOVE it!
