Red Table After Shots
This piece has been one of my absolute favorites so far. We picked it up about 3 weeks ago at a garage sale for $10.00. I sanded it (which I HATE to do) for only about 5 minutes. Took off all of the hardware, rolled on the paint which took all of 20 minutes to cover it completely. Let it dry a few hours and put on a second coat. Sanded up the corners a pit and threw some chains on and around it to rough it up a bit- then I took a cherry wood stain we had in the garage and wiped it all over really concentrating on the sanded edges and then wiped it off and put new hardware on from hobby lobby. Total investment about 20 bucks! The stain turned the sanded edges a really dark almost black color that makes it look really rustic which is what I was going for. I've never used the stain before and I loved it!! Super easy and super cute result. A little bit goes a long way with that stuff! I love love love how it turned out and it was so easy which always makes it so much more enjoyable!! Take a look:

that is so gorgeous! i am in the process of painting a hutch in my kitchen and running into all sorts of problems with the paint bubbling up...why?
Thanks for the super nice comments ladies- you guys are sweet!!
Kathy Jo-
I have run into that when the paint was old, or I didn't use a primer on a piece that needed it. I've started using behr paint that has primer and paint in one so I dont have to deal with that part of it- and i haven't had that problem since. Could be one of those issues.
