Blue Entry Table!

Aaaah!  I can't believe I forgot to take a "before" picture!  Just use your imagination and pretend it was all black with distressed edges.  This is with the first coat of blue paint.

This is with it sanded and stained.

And here we have it upstairs and all decorated.  I obviously need to update some decor, but one step at a time.  For now this will do!

Then I made this runner (with the same lamp fabric) to put on top of the bright piece of furniture.  I thought it would tone it down a little.  Maybe not.  But I love the color combo!

Remember I said I would be tying in some more black and white?!  Well, I was just sick of this old style red lamp and I got a killer deal on this fabric at JoAnn's.  Since I was an expert (from doing it one whole time before)  :) I went to town with the glue gun and a new shaped shade.  I love it!

More blue for the living room.

I bought these cute little knobs at the craft store and threw some paint on them.

I thought they would be perfect to hang these existing boards on  -just to add some color and tie in the blue.  I also changed out the ribbon to a black and white paisley.  I have some of that to tie in also!

I got this cute family sign from a friend a while back.  It was super cute, but i decided to add some color to it while we're at it!  I forgot to take a before picture, so yes, this is the back, but it looked the same on the front...sort of. 

I Picked out some paint in all the colors I am trying to accent with.

Then I sanded the edged and then stained them darker.  Looks cute huh!?
