I love reading Laura's blog, White Spray Paint...I thought of her today as I was out back with my familiar can of red spray paint. I had such a wonderfully productive day. The weather here is still in the low 80's and just heavenly...I know that I should have stayed inside and put things away from yesterday's BBQ but...it was just too nice a day.
I decided to tackle cleaning out my sunroom and I couldn't resist showing you my work in progress...
I wish I was brave (or secure) enough to show you the before but I'm not...so lets just skip right to the after. Ha! Ha!
I found this little side table at Goodwill last week. I know it's Early Americana looking but it was only $14.00 and I had a vision...
I love the flip top lid for easy storage...
I thought that it would be perfect to store toys in but when I snuck brought it home, I realize it just wasn't practical for it's intended purpose.
Hmm...what's a girl to do?
Spray paint it my favorite Walmart red, of course and see what happens. (Excuse the sunspots, it really is an even paint job.)
I love it tucked in here next to my wicker chair...
After cleaning up, I so enjoyed my glass of wine and a few moments of quiet reading. The chair and cushions will be painted and recovered eventually and I haven't accessorized but for now...it's just perfect.
I hope you find yourself a quiet place of retreat this week.
Blessings,
Patty

Oh my Patty, what a fabulous job you did! It goes well with your chair with those pillows!
The table looks great Patty! Looks like it was meant to be there with your chair in that room. Perfect. :-)
Patty,
I love that table. Of course, if you ever want to part with it, you KNOW it would go perfectly at my Cape house with it's Early American style :)
I love it ! And I also love you didnt leave it laying round for months like I have to the desk I brought home in March ...that is still sitting ouside begging for attention. I can see you're an Action Gal!
Wonderful, Patty! I love your pop of red! Wishing you a lovely day.

I love the table painted red. You did a great job! What an unusual table, I love the lines of it and the way it opens. So very fun! Have a blessed day!
I like the hues of red it's not too bright just right to compliment with the colors around. Happy Tuesday!

WOW you are such a brave lady! I don't think I would have had the heart to cover over this wood table with paint but it is GORGEOUS and PERFECT for your setting! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love it! What a dream piece! I am so afraid of color, cudo's to you!

OH! I LOVE it!! I have that exact table & I have been looking at it, wondering what to do??
That's it! Red. Yours is lovely next to the wicker... Great Job!
(I got mine at GW for $1.00.. there is a GW warehouse near me where GW goes to die..& everything is really, really cheap :)
It looks great where you placed it!
The table looks fantasstic. Certainly brighten the place up.
omgosh i love it. My mom and dad used to have a table like that but it ended up at my brothers house. You did a fantastic job on redoing that.
Wow! I would have never thought to paint it red, but it looks terrific! Perfect in the place you put it beside the wicker chair. I love it!
My Mom has that table, it is a reproduction of a colonial dough box. Folks used to put their bread dough in them to rise. My Mom has always kept her yarn and needlework in hers. Really cute painted red!
I love the box table painted red. You have lovely ideas. Thanks for sharing them and thank you for following my new blog. I am following you too.

I love that. I think it would be perfect to tuck away your knitting or crochet project. I may have to find one like that...but it looks like a one of a kind.
Great find and I love the red!
Absolutely beautiful!
