I'm Sassing Up the Table, Mable















Remember the table I was painting for Superman? (see post on 6/15/09 )









Top of table after painting slats.













Sides with base coat of decorative paint and final view of table after the stain is applied.








The late afternoon sunlight enhances the mood, and the stain softens the colors with warmth.


























And having Wonder Dog give you a smile is the perfect cap on the day.

  10. I was wondering when we were going to see the table again. Does Superman like it? I do!

    You can never have too much color!
    You are such a terrific artist. It shows in your attitude. I can't understand how some people seem satisfied in a neutral world...

  11. You're very talented.
    When I paint things it looks like someone fell over with an open paint tin.

  13. It is fantastic. You amaze me with your multi-talents. I just found out today that you have a lovely singing voice also. I guess I should ask what don't you do?

    I appreciate the nice comments you left on my blog. I am glad to call you my friend.

  20. ~~~~Thank you so much!! If anyone would like a detailed description of how I did this, I'd be happy to blog about it. Let me know.

    Or hey make a pot of coffee & I'll come spend a day (or two-three) to paint something at your house that needs a little Woodstock Lily magic! I'm a low maintenance kinda girl who will have ya laughing at the craziest things. Ummmm.... anyone have objections if I snort occasionally when I laugh??? ;-)

    Opie makes me do that...

  21. I think that I will try a similar pattern on an old cabinet that has been sitting in my garage for years. I love all the bright colors. Thanks for the inspiration! Oh and I love the music too.

    I like "the list" idea... I see others doing this too ~ I may do one as well!

    You did a fab job on the table!

  23. That's awesome! I've had a mosaic book sitting on my shelf for 3 years. I had intended to make some, and I've yet to do it! That's for the inspiration. Maybe I can keep the babies away from me long enough to do a project heh.
