Blue Console Table

June 14, 2011 by Bee Filed Under: DIY, furniture, paint, Tutorials

After my exciting dresser make-over my husband couldn’t stand, hates, loathes wait for my next Craigslist purchase!  So I hurried right along and found my next lucky customer!  A friend had found this console table and loved it- she requested a light blue, aged look and was pretty open to anything.

I picked out my favorite Tiffany Blue and got to work- popped off the cheap backing to make it open- Zinsser of course for a good primer- and then my pretty Tiffany Blue!

I used Minwax Dark Chestnut stain and just slowly wiped it on and then off- and really the trick to it is to start light and step back and then see where you want to go in a bit darker.  Once it was all finished, I got the call… cue ominous music!

My friend had just found out they were going to have to move and didn’t want to even take another large piece of furniture with them- I totally understand- but now what to do? Well, she was sweet and insisted on paying me for my trouble and supplies and then told me to either keep it or sell it…

So, I would now like to introduce you to Tiffany… she’s a bute! and loving the new hardware (Hobby Lobby)!

Before…


And After….

These fingers are starting to itch… better put them to good use on Craigslist!:)
Hope you are all having a great week!

    Great color and I really like the knobs. Thanks for sharing your post, don’t you just love it when you have to take a piece of crappy furniture off of someone? It’s torture I know (ha-ha) it will be our secret. Stop by for a blog visit!

    How can I find that Tiffany Blue? I needed a Tiffany Blue for my bathroom but the color is not quite right.
