Some like it white

Usually I don't paint pieces all white, but I tried a light blue-gray on this piece and it just wasn't cutting it.  So I went over it with a simple off white.  It needed to be prettied up, and only white can make something crisp and clean.  I really love this side table, it has depth and would hold many items if used as a bedside table.
The origianl hardware was pretty and elegant, so it got a dose of oil rubbed bronze. (My new fav).

A light distressing
Simple and quaint, I may pair it with my new chair.

    I have to admit, after seeing just the 'before' pictures, I think I would have passed this table up. But it looks great!! It is so classic but so unique at the same time. Love what you did with it!

    This is really pretty. I love the lines to the table and the little orante drawer pull. You are right...it is nice and crisp looking in the off white.

    That is such a great shape for a table. And made even better with your cute paint job. Well done!

    A very sweet table and much better white, of course. Hope you'll stop by and see our upholstery ideas. Jane F.
