and now my table sings!

 I've finally gotten to re-doing this hand-me-down coffee table that sits in our front living

room....it was that dated blond wood color in that classic early '90s style that I see re-done all over blogland.

Here it is before. Lovely. I know.

And here it is now!! All dressed up in vintage sheet-music!

 I absolutely love it! I gave it a good coat of primer, followed by

a few coats of Krylon Ivory gloss spray paint (I didn't want it glossy, but I knew I'd be glazing/antiquing so

that would make it have a more satin finish).

Then I carefully selected the sheets of music (which I bought a BIG bag of recently at a garage sale for a steal) I wanted to Mod Podge on the top. I purposely chose

ones with varied tones from light ivory color to a really aged tan color.

I also chose some with titles and words that were pretty and some with just music notes so it would be varied.

some detail of the sheet music...

then I mixed up a grayish/tanish glaze to antique it...

I'm SO glad I got around to doing this! It's so...me.

Fabulous Finds on Friday!

I went to a garage sale and found the awesome "Lord's Prayer" poster for $1 and the vintage blue and white metal box AND the clothes, all in really great shape for $1.oo a piece! The cream-colored sweater is so cute, with a tie around the waist and I love the salmon-colored cords.
The poster, which I have seen at a boutique here in OKC and they sell it matted in leopard and framed for like $100 or something crazy, so I went to the RINK gallery to check out their sale table and look for a frame for my poster. I found the frame for $20 and I have leopard fabric in my scraps, I can totally do this for WAY cheaper.
The RINK is my new favorite place!! Today, along with the frame, I found another ironstone bowl, which I think is so beautiful and aged, for $1 and something that I'm having my guy pick up tomorrow and I totally scored on it. I'll post before and after pics when I get it. EEEK, I am so excited about it....!
