Kitchen Table Redo With Sheet Music

 The Nester says, " It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful"

 {and I say}

"If you don't succeed the first time, try, try again. If still you don't succeed, nuts to it!"  LOL ;)

this is not my original quote just one that came to mind:)

{ the beginning }

 

what started out being my {inspiration} the book that is...sanding table...laying out letters

RE-sanding over painted on letters...

{ this is why you will still see all of the dust under my dining table in the finished picture...lol! }

I painted the legs Heirloom White that I had Home Depot mix in latex paint...instead of a spray can...{ I am not good at spray painting....sorry blogland:)

I painted the edges of the table in this color that I found on {Cowboy} Phraseology...she painted her sweet new baby girls bed this color..I loved it.

{ Behr Cloud Burst }

I didn't like the words...I know...I am sad about that:(

So the table lived there in a state of anonymity for almost a week.

 Nikki ROLLED her eyes...I know Nikki...I saw it :)

It came to me...Mod Podge!!  For a genetically dysfunctional crafter like myself

Mod Podge is like chocolate when your are PMSing..REALLY!

I had some sheet music from ... yes a thrift store... so I laid it out randomly

and Mod Podged to my little hearts content.

I glazed over the whole table and then gave it a good coat of MP

Just a few pictures form different angles

THEN

yesterday we took down the bambooish blinds { they are nice in summer to keep the heat out though }

and immediate happiness filled the area...yeah!

{The picture below shows the blinds}

{ Phase I of Eat in Kitchen }

 {my favorite part of this picture collage?  BLESS THIS HOUSE }

The pictures above are without the blinds... can see how much " happier" it is?

I am playing with some chair decor...I am going to tie on fabric just not sure what " kind " of fabric yet.  I used some muslin I had just to see what it would look like.  I am leaving it there for awhile to get a feel for it first.

This is PHASE I of the Eat In Kitchen....whew! 

Now for the painting of the walls....I DON'T think I will be stenciling any letters anytime soon...LOL!

Wink Wink ;) ;)  I DO have a couple of FUN things I am going to try though...go ahead...roll them eyes!!  Ain't nothin a little REDO won't fix..
