a turquoise table.

i have a new obsession: turquoise. i.love.it. i think it's a great pop of color to any room and can transform anything into a statement piece (ex:my turquoise birds).

our bedroom in our new house is in the process of being put together (see our bedroom in our old home here)... but we have a mustard-y yellow bedspread and light grey walls, and i've decided to incorporate turquoise into the color scheme for some extra spice.

when we first moved here this summer, we put together a large yard sale with my sister, my mom and my sister's mother-in-law. i think what was the most fun was looking over each other's items and doing a little shopping ;) i spotted this antique table of sarah's (my sister's mother-in-law) and claimed it immediately. i think she sold it to me for three bucks. awesome.

this is what it looked like when i bought it:

and with a coat of rustoleum's aqua spray paint, here is the finished product, at home in our bedroom:

i sanded it down, primed the top with kilz white spraypaint primer (to cover up the letters), and gave it a few coats of the turquoise spraypaint.

my *favorite* feature of this table are the vintage crystal knobs i ordered on ebay for ten dollars. i have a huge affinity for crystal knobs, and these caught my attention. i love the gold & crystal against the turquoise.

for now, i have it decorated with a few pieces that i love. it will probably change as we work on our bedroom decor, but for now i'm content with this vignette that was composed mostly of things we already had that we can now display.

old white shutters (a friend, free)

brown picture frames (goodwill, $3)

vintage fan (ebay, $10)

bird/tree stand (tj maxx, $10)

table (yard sale, $3)

the perfect pop of turquoise for our bedroom. totally worth the three bucks and a little elbow grease :) will show pictures of our bedroom and our home as it continues to unfold! stay tuned.
