you will see a picture of ME! last week or so, i posted about my project for the inspired room procrastinator's party. i took me a few days longer than allowed to finish my table, but in my defense, i have been working on it during this time. it took much longer than i had anticipated, and then i decided to do a paste wax finish, so i had to wait a few days for my paint to cure. but it's done now. i'm not 100% happy with it - well, i was hoping for pottery barn-cheap chic, but it's not quite there. i can't get the right painting technique down, and i'm still not sure what i was doing wrong. but i FINISHED it!! yay me! :)
the big reveal:
the closest "before" shot i had...
and, drum roll please...
my restoration hardware bargain knob:
another view:
will i like the black and white after halloween ends? will i ever learn to paint furniture properly? will the paint i spilled on the bricks in my front entry way ever come out? we may never know the answers to these questions, but at least i finished my project, and i can go post my name with the other finished projects. check it out - there are a ton of CUTE projects over there!
have a great monday!
I love this-I think it turned out great!

It looks great! At least you finished it - a refinishing project was always too daunting for me to even begin.

Are you kidding me? That doesn't even look like the same table! Great work! You should give yourself a big ole pat on the back.

Love the black and white, and I'm sure it will look fabulous year round! That knob is pretty great too!
