A Tale of Two Teal Tables

When Jesse at Nine Red sent me this nightstand makeover, he said,  “Think the internet has too much teal? You’re right. It does. And here’s another!”  Ha! But I still love this color, and so does half the internet, so I think we’re in good company.   Head on over to his blog to see more, plus his step-by-step for making your own chalk paint while you’re at it!

And here’s another little teal table makeover from Emily at Fay Grayson Home. Teal?  Turquoise?  Aqua?  Blue-ish?  Bluey?  Blue-adjacent?  Anyway.  You know.

I see these barrel tables all the time, but I’ve never even given them a passing glance.  To boxy and squatty for me, bleah.  But it never occurred to me to remove the doors like Emily did!  Makes it so much more current! And she didn’t stop there, she also sawed off the side panels with her jigsaw to really open it up.  After a few date nights with wood filler and paint, she’s got a table worth talking about.
