Refinished furniture

I refinished a few pieces of furniture.

We found a super ugly picture frame up in the rafters of our rental home when we were cleaning it out and i thought i could paint it and make it look really cool.

The end tables we've had for about ten years and i told Jared i would refinish them and have not gotten to it till just recently. I painted them a squash color and then took a dark walnut stain and dirtied it up. I love how they turned out!

I scored the coffee table at the Calvery chaple thrift store. On Thursdays, they have 30%of everything in the store. I got it for $14.00! I brought it home and went to work on it. I was going to just paint it cream and distress it a little bit, ( knowing that Jared hates the distressed look, i was going to keep it low key.....) But...i really wanted a pop of color. So i decided to see how it would look with different colors. If it looked bad i would just paint the white over it. I painted the top turquoise, the bottom the squash yellow, and the legs maroon. Then i dirtied it up  with the walnut stain. I love how it looks and Jared loves me so he tolerates it. He is so good to me!

The bottom picture is my colorful room put all together. Color in a house equals happiness to me!!
