What is it with me and stripy little Tables?

My lovely sister-in-law Dayna called me on Saturday morning to let me know that her antique-collecting neighbours were having their annual garage sale!! 

And her wonderful words went something like this ...."I've already bought you a bunch of nice stuff" 

!!!

So excited!

This little table was one of her scores! LOVE it!

It was painted white, and quite lovely as it was, but you know me....I can't resist a little project. What is it with me and stripes these days??

I think I'm coming seriously close to overdoing it.

Whatever.



I did my usual "green-tape" job...this time alternating thin and thick stripes, to switch it up a bit.

A little distressing....and there you have it. 

A new little side-table. Perfect for a little "tea for two".






The cute little milk/sugar set was a gift from my awesome husband, who came back from last week's business trip with an Anthropologie bag full of goodies!

How well does he know me? :)



I couldn't resist picking the last two peonies from our garden......I just enjoy them so much more inside where I can admire them all day long :)

  11. That is very cute, I must say that I love the grey you use and I have been inspired by your blog to paint my dining hutch & coffee table grey (haven't done it yet though, too busy working on other projects). I have bought the paint, just need to find the time (and energy to empty the hutch of its contents!) I have only done stripes once, candy-coloured ones on my kids table and chairs (it is on my blog), I love how it turned out. The other day I saw a gorgeous pink and white painted set of drawers on a blog but I can't remember where (oops), it was so gorgeous I am inspired to try that on a duchess I have waiting to be painted.

  25. Tracey this is lovely... both the stripes AND the table! Love how the little table has a lower level that you striped as well. The distressing looks so good, it's like it's always been stripy!! Your new cream and sugar set are fab, too! Your fella is definitely a keeper :-)

  27. Your little side table is adorable. Love the stripes and it has me looking at a table in the corner that I don't like anymore ... I think stripes might be in it's future!
