Welcome to the 2nd Before and After party. I look forward to what you have to show this week. First let me show you my latest paint transformation.
This table is an antique we purchased several years ago at a flea market and it had been moved from spot to spot around the house.
I love the details of this table, but I am sure no one has even noticed them.
Bailey chewed the top of this piece when she was a puppy. Bad girl!
I decided to paint this piece white with the brown glazing. I love how the details stand out now.
I used Sherwin Williams Ivorie paint and Valspar Mocha glaze. Then I waxed the top with Minwax finishing paste wax.
I realized after I posted this that I made a mistake. I did not use the Valspar Mocha glaze this time. I mixed an umber tint in some plain glaze by Behr.

Now it actually shows up between the chairs.
Now show me your makeovers. It can be an old or new post. If you don't have before shots you can just describe the before. I have forgotten to take before shots plenty of times.
Now for the rules:.
1.Make sure you link your before and after URL and not just your blog.

Love ya!
Jennifer
THanks for hosting!!
And now the detail of the wood shows up perfectly! I sure wish I had your know-how and confidence with a paint brush. A real transformation. Your new party has made me very industrious lately! Thank goodness something did.
Brenda
It looks fabulous Kim! Enjoy your very successful party...I really enjoyed looking at some of the features too.
Kim, I love this table and it is just stunning painted white. So pretty. Thanks for hosting such a fun party. Hugs, Marty
Wow, Kim! That table does have some wonderful details! I love the new paint color...fabulous! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie
Yes, Jennifer has given you the honor of being the painting QUEEN and I agree. That table is fabulous!! I have no link this week but I'm happy to browse....
Oh....love that table painted. I linked up tonight...missed it last week but not this week. I'm happy your linky party is doing so well.
I love this Kim. I need to distress the chest at the foot of our bed. I like how this looks.
I managed to do a mini before and after today. We are at the lake. I added that post, plus the back porch before and after from the other day. So two entries this week.
My gosh Kim, you have done it again! I'm ready to get in my car and drive to GA just so I can see all of your projects in person. You have definitely inspired me to redo some of my pieces. My project this week is a little silly, but I hope you enjoy it!
xo, Andrea
Oh Kim! I kind of held my breath when you were describing that beautiful old antique table...and wondered if you'd ever dare put a paint brush to it. I see you did!! I love it. The details really pop out now. My son refinished an old side table kind of like that for me for my birthday last year (he rescued it from the garage). I didn't have the heart to tell him that I had planned to paint it white. He even had to fashion 2 missing pieces from the two that were existing...and it turned out beautifully. I love yours. I just jotted down the name of that glaze because I wanted to pick some up. Otherwise I was going to scour your past posts tonight looking for it! See...sometimes things just turn out right. And..I have never used the Minwax finishing paste wax either. I had the can in my hand and put it back...bad me. I have 2 or 3 projects to get at on my next round of days off. I head back to work tomorrow!<{ Diana
Well done, what a transformation! =) ~Liz
Hi there Kim! I am all linked up! Thanks so much for hosting~ your party is so much fun! I love that table in it's new coat of paint and shabby too btw! :)
Pretty table, Kim!...Christine
What great sounding paint names! You are sooo good at this! So beautiful now, it looks ancient and mysterious. I'd have it in a heart beat. So weird what paint will do for a piece. Fabulous job!
That looks fantastic Kim! You brought that piece back to life. That gothic style looks perfect with the aged white paint. Very romantic.
Sherry
That table looks so pretty. I love the contrast between the chairs. Poor Bailey, she's not a bad girl... anymore:)

I am so excited! I linked up for this week! I love what you did with the table! It really pops in the room now! Thanks for the fun, girlfriend! ♥
It looks fabulous Kim!!! I love it to pieces.
Hugs,
Penny
Most definitely better! Nicely done!
Another wonderfully executed project from you. The details of the wood were fabulous on their own, but, as you said, just didn't stand out like they do now. I know a lot of people are reluctant to paint wood, but this project illustrates perfectly why so many do it anyway. (Oh, and hi. Have I mentioned my recent new(ish) follower status here? :)
Wow, you've done it again! The table looks great. I wish I had your nerve, for some reason painting furniture scares me. I've got an old piece out in the shed I've been meaning to experiment on, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Now it's getting too cold. Maybe next Spring.
Hi Kim, I love the table painted!! The glazing looks fantastic.
Kathy
The glaze makes the white work so well. I put these colors/glaze/wax into my notepad so I can paint my buffet this color eventually.
Really like the table redo - nice job!! Thanks for hosting again this week. You are appreciated.
The table turned out beautifully! You have gotten this glazing thing down to a science! Thanks for hosting this party! I am loving it!
Lacy
What a beautiful table Kim! I have been looking for one about that size for my living room. I LOVE all the details of the table and your gorgeous transformation!!!
Thanks so much for hosting Kim and for the invite to join in! I just linked up then.
Kim,
You do the best painting jobs. The table looks great!!!
What a difference. I asked Don about the table we have here in Florida but he said it's veneer and it wouldn't do well with that treatment. I would love the lighter, beach cottage feel here.
Gorgeous table Kim!! The details really pop out now.
Kim,
Looks great! I just love the affect that glaze adds to a piece of furniture! The detail really pops!
Thanks for hosting a fun party.
Wendy
You are the Queen of Painting Perfection! This "after" is such a treasure. It was hiding under that wood stain. Really beautiful. Thanks for listing the paint and glaze. I am painting my sofa table after Thanksgiving. I'll make sure I join your meme!
You have the decorating golden touch!
Yvonne
O, Kim...this just blows my sox off..I LOVE the way it turned out.
I'm walking all around my cottage, trying to find a pretty table to paint.haven't found it yet, tho.:)
xo bj
That table is amazing! Thanks so much for hosting another great party! :-)
Vanessa
This is fabulous! The details really pop now that the table is white.....it looks gorgeous in your family room :o)
~Des
I can't believe how different it looks...it really took on a bolder look..very nice! ;D
Kim, it looks fantastic! I agree that the paint gives the details more depth and really makes them stand out. Love the shape of this table. It looks nice between the chairs.
Thanks for hosting! ~ Sarah
Your boundless energy never ceases to amaze me! Love your table!!
I'm linking up my little desk re-do. I hope it works as a before and after. Thanks!

I love the transformation! I have a few pieces that could really use your transforming touch. I just have to get to it some day soon.
Oh, I like that painted white. You really are becoming the queen of the paintbrush. I'm joining the Before and After party tonight. I haven't has a lot of B&A lately, but I'll join when I have actually get something done.
Oh wow I LOVE it!!
that table's got great bones which really stand out now that you've painted and distressed it. Looks wonderful!
Kim, I can't thank you enough for posting this table. I have a similar table that I have been debating whether or not to paint. Yep, it's getting painted. That looks so pretty... thanks again : )
HI Kim-
I agree 100% with Yvonne above - you are the queen of painting perfection. Where do you find the Valspar glaze? The Home Depot and Lowes in my area don't have it.
My best- Diane
Kim, just have to say that I adore your lovely blog, and your comments are so appreciated. Jenny xo
Love the table!! It has such a cool shape to it and the makeover made it even better. I'm just linking up my door makeover. Don't worry about stopping by as you already came by the other day when I posted it!! Your so good about that! Thanks for hosting!
Kim, you are sooo right. The lines of that table show up so much better now. I wish I were fearless like you when it comes to painting. Everything you paint looks so great! You make me think even I could do it. Thank you for hosting. laurie
Kim your table looks wonderful with its new paint color and glaze! Your party is a huge hit, I knew it would be, congrats!
Kat :)
You sure are the Queen of Painting, I'm going to have to study your pictures of the table very hard! Love it so gorgeous!
I also wanted to let you know I joined your party!
Rondell
Wonderful job! You have the technique down pat!
Kim, this table looks much better painted and finished with the glaze. I have a cherry cabinet with a chewed knob to match your finial--little teeth from a baby chocolate lab! Linda
That is such a cute table. Love the legs on it. It looks great painted and hides the little chewed up spot!
You know just what to do with paint, Kim - gorgeous finish!
This is a great piece and the perfect example of looking to what could be. Beautiful job! One of these days...I'm going to link up!
Kim, what a gorgeous transformation!! I love that table and you definitely can see all the details better than before-it is stunning! Wonderful job!!

Hi Kim,
I heard about your party right after I posted my Before and After: Cabinet Door post...I wanted to join in all the fun so I hope it was okay to include it. I just went back and edited it to add a link to your blog...Cannot wait to see what everyone else is sharing...By the way, awesome job on your table. It turned out beautifully. Have a wonderful day.
Hugs and Kisses,
♥Ana
Hi Kim,
It's a beautiful table! The technique you used really gives it presence and impact (it looks great between the two chairs). Thank you for sharing this inspiring makeover!
-bill
How gorgeous Kim! You are quite the carft, creative lady and I get so much inspiration for you!
Off to read more...I have been a bad blogger for awhile and am playing catch up! Hope all is well your way!
Love,
Sue
Oh my, I can't believe what paint and glaze can do. That piece is gorgeous now. You did an amazing job.
Brooke
Slowly but surely getting my MOJO back....I just had to join the party Kim...today was a good day!
Hey Kim, You totally transformed the table and it looks fabulous!
Hugs, Sherry
Wow - love the table! It really pops in the space now. Looks great.
Kim, I would so love you to get a hold of my big old welch dresser!! You do such awesome work!! Sorry, I haven't had time to try to come up with a B & A for today's party, but I'm enjoying seeing the others.
Your table turned out beautifully. I bought some of that glaze and am going to get my courage up and do our bar area cabinets. You make it look so easy {and i'm sure I'll find that it's not quite that easy:-) } Thanks for hosting a fun party.
I stopped in my tracks when I saw this redo. I like how you used the brown glaze to bring out the details! I liked the before but I "love" the after. Nicely done!
~Michelle
I love it! Maybe I should do this to my newest GW buffet? Maybe you'd like to come and visit and help me with the project?
I love it!
I really have got to get in on your party!
Take care,
Lisa
Your table turned out beautifully, Kim~ it really does stand out better now!
It looks great. This is one of those cases where my husband would kill me if I wanted to paint it! The only thing I could have posted for this today was the before pile of laundry from the trip and the smaller pile at the end of today:) Don't you wonder how things are such a mess when you take a trip?
This table is absolutely gorgeous! Love it!
It looks fabulous Kim! I like the colors you chose. It really does make a difference in the sitting area.
~ Tracy
I love it! I am such a fan of paint and glaze, I'm looking forward to trying some mocha glaze around here!
MUCH better in white! It really stands out now.
Wow, this table is just beautiful, love it!
