Okay, maybe you will.
To start at the beginning...
I decided when I got up this morning to gray-wash the mirror in our dining room. Gray-wash... like white-wash but with gray paint.
It was a light gold color and to me seemed too "matchy-matchy" with the frames on the console table.
I taped off the inside of the mirror and mixed equals parts paint and water. {the paint I had left over from painting the upstairs bath}
I like the results. Extremely subtle. Not a big change... just no longer matchy-matchy. A little rustic.
Very subtle.
... and this cute little helper saw me snapping pictures and felt she should be in one.
Then the crazy happened. I just couldn't stop with the gray-wash.
I ran to the living room and threw a tablecloth under our coffee table.
And officially ruined our coffee table.
It looks like we let Hadley paint it.
And there it is.
So I think now we are going to turn it into a covered ottoman.
Here's what were thinking: Dear Lille Ottoman
Out of control today,
I couldn't help but get tickled... but I think the ottoman would be fabulous!! =)
ReplyDeleteLove the mirror!
ReplyDeleteMe? I'd try first to take that table puppy into the garage or onto a tarp in the yard and simply wash off the paint with elbow grease and some water (not a river). Might be just the look you were after. Who knows?
Wish I had thought of {or read} this before taking some pillows, foam, and a staple gun to the table this morning! ;)
DeleteI think we really like the ottoman. Comfy for the feet!
I just need to make the cover now.
