Hello Yellow!

New blog layout! I got bored last night, and as much as I love owls, I was just a little tired of looking at the old layout. Anywho, this post is to be about my yellow sofa table! It came from my uncle. I get alot of my things from him. He has a habit of buying new stuff and then 6 months later, wanting something else, so he just gives it away. Score! I forgot to take a before picture and I've even looked through old pictures hoping to find it in one of them. No such luck, so we'll start with the first coat of primer:

And then a second coat of primer:

And let me say, I am super messy with primer. I think I should probably start buying it in the spray cans, because when it's all over with, I'm covered. I even had it in my hair! And being oil based, it did NOT want to come off. Nightmare!

 

I actually had only bought a little paint sample bottle of this yellow color. The color is called "Warm Gold" in the Glidden brand. And I thought yellow would be such a fun color for a sofa table! So me and my little sample bottle got to painting:

The little sample got the whole table covered, but obviously it needed more coats. Which made me have to go out and buy a whole gallon of yellow! Well it didn't make me, I wanted to. I've actually decided to do yellow in my craft room now because I love this color so much! But that's a nightmare in itself and for a whoooole other post.

After buying more paint, and painting a few more coats. Then some light distressing and some clear coating. OH and I also painted the inside of the drawer a turquoise blue color that I had leftover from some bedroom things and lined it with a really pretty paper that I printed out from online! So, without further ado:

 

Hope you like it! I know I do! Yellow just makes me feel happy and I need all the happy I can get here lately. :)
