Coffee Table Update and The Winners Are!

Happy Sunday.  It is sunny and going up in the 60's here today in Chicago Land.  Wooo Hooo!  I think Old Man Winter is letting go and Spring is trying to peak out.

I saw the tulips and daffodils popping up in the flower beds this week end so I think that is a good sign Spring might be here.

I have an update on the coffee table and the winners of the 2 Year Anniversary Give Away.

This was the before picture of the top of the coffee table.  I did not like that the black streaks were coming through from the table top being outside and exposed to the elements for the past few years.  I just loved using this piece as a coffee table top and did not want to throw it out.  Plus it fit beautifully on the top of those chair legs.

The black was coming through the whole table.

So my wonderful Mr. Junk Chic Cottage sanded it one more time with a heavy grade sandpaper and was able to get the black out of the wood.  Plus I liked the lighter tone now to the wood. 

Then I put one coat of clear poly on the piece.

Now I like the lighter wood top in the room.  Just goes better with my whites and chippy pieces in the room.

So now the coffee table has the weathered look with the lighter colors of the wood coming through.
Ahhhhhh now I am happy with the piece and did not have
to paint the top.  I love when I can repurpose and give new life to things.

Thank you everyone for your support and wonderful comments on my 2 Year Blog Anniversary.  I appreciate you taking time to come by for a visit and leave your sweet comments on my decor crazy LOL!  It has been so much fun getting to know all of you.

Here is the list of winners.  You would think after two years in blog land I would have figured out that rafflecopter thingy.  Since I did not I did it the old fashion way put all your names in a bowl (white ironstone of course) and then had my husband pick out the names.  Not real savvy but it works just the same.

If you name is listed here congrats and please email me your address so I can get these out to you.
Have a wonderful start to the week.
