Introducing....
I don't know if my brilliant furniture-painting ideas/business will ever pan out, but I'm excited to try!
I've had this coffee table in my garage since we got married and thought I probably should do something about it. For some reason the stain on the coffee table turned out super cloudy when I did it 4 years ago, so I decided to paint the whole thing. Another reason is because it's very large and bulky, so I thought soft creamy white with glazed details would be better. I'm almost done with it, so I'll post my after pictures soon.
I just loved this pretty lil thing. It was tucked away under some nasty light at Goodwill and I snatched it up for $9! I'm taking it to my parents next weekend to rebuild the top, and after she's all cleaned up with crystal knobs she's going to be a beauty!! I had thought about painting it something really fun, like turquoise, but I think I'm going to stick to black. I don't know if I'm daring enough to paint one of my first pieces so bright... but I can be pursuaded otherwise if you are interested in it!
I would really love to turn my love of painting and home decor into a side business, but we'll just have to wait and see. I don't even know how to start going about getting my name out there. I saw some other ladies selling furniture on Etsy, so I thought about that. What do you think??

my grandma gave me a really similiar little side table thing and i painted it turquoise and its really fun! all my other furniture is cream but the turquoise one adds a little color and its small so its not like its overwhelming. i say try turquoise!! :) cant wait to see the finished products.
I will pay you to paint two tables and a bookshelf that I already have. I can't stand painting, but love painted furniture! and, I think etsy would be a great way to start, or post some finished products on facebook.
Do It. I have a couple of pieces I have been thinking about painting --- try it and let me know how it goes.
I loved painting all my old furniture and making it look totally different. It's fun and rewarding. Go for it and good luck!
