This table was given to me by my dear friend Jamie a few weeks back. It belonged to her grandmother. It has great lines...just needed some love. I was browsing blogs last week and found these amazing nightstands at
http://Redhenhome.blogspot.com . I knew I had to try it and what better subject than my little clover table! (Sorry its sideways...couldn't get it to rotate)
Using wallpaper paste and tin foil squares, yes tin foil, I pieced it together, then wiped off any excess glue and applied a dark brown glaze over the top to sink into the cracks and crevices.
I still need to add the coats (Korrie recommends 2) of polycrylic and it will be ready for its intended use, a housewarming gift for a friend of mine :)
This technique was so easy, although somewhat time consuming. It makes me want to bling up my bedroom at home now.
I hope you all like...go ahead give it a try!

Hello,
I visited your blog today, and while reading it, I noticed that you have a degree in Interior Design. My daughter, Jess, also has a degree in Interior Design, and I think she would enjoy visiting your blog. Me and my daughters just started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. The link is: http://redrosealley.blogspot.com We can share our creative ideas. Hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day. That's such a cute picture of you.
