More Collage Tables!
It seems that the collaged look is in! These items are flying out of our booth, so I am busily creating more. I nabbed two tables that we've had in reserve for other projects and added vintage ephemera to them...
An Eastlake table, formerly olive green, gets a facelift with cream paint and beaiutiful papers:
This table used to be full height, then we cut it down to coffee-table level. It was stained, then green, now it's fresh ivory. On one side of the apron, there are small raised letters that state 'US Navy' - this came from one of our local Navy shipyards! (I painted over the letters, but you can still feel them.) Now that it is covered with sweet French papers and sheet music, I just can't imagine it in a Naval Office anymore!
These lovely tables both went into the booth on Sunday morning, along with a small Eastlake dresser in ivory. The cream table & chairs sold, so more is in the works - stay tuned! I am determined that the armoire WILL make it in there...
