Curvy And Straight

This is the tale of two cute little side tables that could not be more different - one curvy and one straight! It all started with a request from Cari who is decorating a beach house. Cari came to our spring sale and went home with a boat load of furniture.







Cari sent me an email asking if I had anything that would work as an additional bedside table. I sent her pictures of a variety of choices and she fell in love with this curvy girl.





She asked for blue. Again I sent her a variety of choices and we settled on Mariner Blue from the Martha Stewart line, although I had it mixed in the Behr Ultra Premium Plus Paint and Primer in One - love skipping that priming step!








That little top shelf is so sweet!





And Cari asked for a cute knob. I think this one qualifies.





Don't you just love the curvy lines and the soft cottage feel? And in that shade of blue, she's just perfect for a beach house!





When Cari picked up her bedside table, she brought me another table that she no longer wanted. With it's formal feel and straight lines, it was such a contrast to the first one.





I had a brand new can of chalk paint in Provence that I was anxious to open, so I started painting immediately.






I used Old White as an accent color.











Again, I used the Annie Sloan soft wax. I love the way it goes on so smoothly, but it does take some time to set-up properly before you can buff it.






I think this one has a very prim and proper feel!




So there you have it, two completely different side tables - one curvy and one straight!
