Scandinavian Inspired Side Table

Hello there!
I said in the last post,  that this time,

my side table was going to be Swedish inspired.

Well, I finished it :)

It started out like this.

( the larger one)

The moment I saw it at a store, I knew I wanted it.

It was love at first sight.

Look at it, the hardwares?

Aren't they gorgeous?

Although it was priced a bit more than I wanted to pay,

when a girl's gotta have it,

a girl's gotta have it, right?

So I bought it with a big smile and came home.

First I filled scratches with a wood filler and sanded where it had rough spots.

This is the first coat of paint.

Maybe it's hard to see but with white and blue homemade chalk paints.

Mmmmm, I like it already....

 I wanted it to look like a Scandinavian piece,

for me that means colors would be

pale blue, white and a touch of gold.

I added grey to the drawers too.

Feelin' Northern Europeanish yet? lol

OK, now I'll show you the whole table...

TA-DA!!

This time, I used more gel stain and dark antique wax than usual,

because I wanted to make it look a little aged.

                              Drawers were in good shape (dovetail as well),

 I added sheet music inside using Mod Podge.

I'd love to know what you think....

I noticed there are some people who pin my photos to their

Pinterest and of course you are more than welcome to do so and

I thank you for sharing them.

You know, when you finish a project,
you'll be all ears too right?

Thank you and have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!
