Think Pink

We  had some beautiful weather this past weekend and I took the opportunity to complete a fun, furniture makeover that I've had on my to-do list. My latest candidate was this stunner that has been sitting on our deck begging for an update. It has a metal base and a glass top. I wiped it all down and tried like crazy to get the glass out. I couldn't figure it out so I just decided to paint the glass, too. Why not? The plan was to cover it in fabric, anyways.

 

I started with my go-to primer these days by Zissner. I gave her a good coat and let it dry.

 

 

My color choice for this project was Berry Pink by Rustoleum. Huh? Oh, wait, I forgot to mention that this table is for my little lady. It will eventually serve as a bedside table in her bedroom.

 

 

 I put on a couple of coats and let it dry. The glass was held in place with some plastic brackets that I had removed. With the glass lowered, however, it made a cute tray table so I decided it was perfect without the brackets. I love when unexpected things like that happen!

 

I liked just the pink but I went ahead with my original plan and added some fabric that I had on hand. I just fed it through the outer rim and pushed it down with a flathead scredriver. Then, I trimmed it and secured the edges with spray adhesive. so it wouldn't slide around. Since I didn't spray the whole thing, the fabric could easily be removed if that's what we wanted to do down the road Here it is in it's temporary home in our playroom. I added a glass lamp from Ikea and a framed picture of Audrey (can't believe how little she was and now she's about to turn 5. Sniff.) The basket of books fit perfectly underneath. It may evolve from here because I'm in the process of sprucing things up around the house. So, check back later for more on that. Have a great week! Is anybody else counting down days until Thanksgiving break? Eight days and counting...yay!
