Welcome to Five on Friday!

Welcome to “Five on Friday” weekly roundup here on the blog!

What is “Five on Friday”?

“Five on Friday” or #FOF is simply a weekly roundup of five things that I want to share. Each week, I’ll share five things I like, from products and services to quotes, images and interesting articles.

Because I love all things vintage, crafting and restoration projects, I will be sharing mostly news, products and services related to those interests, and anything else I think my readers might enjoy.

So, let’s get started!

1. “Round Coffee Table with Storage”

I absolutely love this coffee table because it is wood and old and has a lot of storage. I used A Maker’s Studio Rescue and Restore Paint in the color Blessed and then finished it with the Light Antiquing Wax. For this piece I distressed with a sander so the wood could show through and therefore a sealer or wax was necessary.

2. Oval Table with Spindle Legs

Oh how I love spindle legs. This table is like the perfect thing for an office where you could be sitting with your client completing a proposal, or maybe in a sitting room. I personally think it could be beautiful anywhere. Can you tell what colors I used? What do you think?

3. Square Lion Table

The Square Lion Table was old, used and weathered and really needed some wooden enforcements to keep it standing tall and regal. I love the beautiful legs and the lions head in each corner.

4. White End Tables with Shelf

This set of two White End Tables with a Shelf was a fun piece to paint. I used Annie Sloan’s Pure White and then used A Maker’s Studio Mesh Stencil in Floor Tile Clubs hand the Rescue and Restore paint in Gathered to create a design on the shelf. The piece was then finished with Sweet Pickin’s Milk Paint Top Coat.

5. Oval Drop Leaf Table

I painted this Oval Drop Leaf Table in A Maker’s Studio products. For the top I started It would be perfect siting next do a bed or sofa.
