instant coffee table ~


Hello my friends, I have been under the weather lately ~
I have been diagnosed with vertigo ~ not a nice thing, but I am on the mend and back again with a smile on my face ;-)

Mr. Vintage and I picked up some chippy table legs last summer in Port Stanley.  He knew he wanted to make a table or something with them.  The other day a friend stopped by and brought some barn boards to us ~ such a good friend ~

Well,  here is the instant coffee table Mr. Vintage created



We didn't even paint the barn boards ~ we left them as is ~



Love the chippy legs and the rustic touches ~





and the lace table runner is perfect with the rustic barn boards ~

I also bought a clock face at an antique store a while ago and yesterday I felt a little better and decided to do something with it.



Here it is before ~



and after ~





Instant wall art ~

These projects were quick and easy and I love them both ~

Now, time to rest ~



A cup of tea and some magazines ~

Do you have any projects on the go?  I'd love to hear.  Hopefully, this bout of vertigo will be gone ~ soon ~  I can't sit around and do nothing.  It makes me crazy ~ sigh ~

(((Hugs)))

  2. Oh no!!! I do not like it when I get it. Do you get that nausea too? I love your table. I think it is just fantastic and it looks great. So does your clock face.
    Not really any projects other than getting ready for my daughter's wedding here in 10 weeks. :)
    I will be making cute things though when the time is closer.
    I do hope you feel better soon.

  15. I'm sorry to hear about your vertigo Marianne. I have a friend that has it too but I don't know much about it other than one is very dizzy no matter what position they're in. Not fun at all! I love your barn board table. It is really rustic but pretty with the pale paint and green legs. The clock is cute too. I hope you feel better soon. Blessings, Pamela
