Console Table Evolution

      Last weekend I repainted our console table (yet again!) with this fun design. 

When we originally bought this table from Home Goods almost a year ago, it looked something like this (except it was two-toned):

We painted it light blue right away, and I used some decorative paper for the drawers. 

I still didn't love it, so I repainted the drawers yet again... and again... and then a couple of weeks ago I was reading one of my favorite blogs Centsational Girl and read about how Kate painted her office credenza and it turned out beautifully!

I loved this design so much that I decided to recreate it on our console table- so out came the paint again! I followed Kate's tutorial for painting stripes. Since my table was already blue, I was taping the negative space, which was a little bit tricky. The longest part of the whole project was measuring and taping everything correctly. 

 

I really like the way it turned out and I promised Nick I won't repaint this table again (for at least a year anyway!)
