I love having things in my home that remind me of the people that
I love. My grandma gave me this table & I wanted to keep it
in our home & give it a makeover to restore the condition of the table
so that we could have the table around for years to have it
remind of us of my lovely grandparents every time we look at it…
Before, the table was beautiful, but the top was in pretty bad
condition. I decided to do a small ticking stripe on the top.
I used Duck egg blue & Old White by Annie Sloan.
After painting I distressed the table using a sanding block.
If you follow me on Instagram {@lizmariegalvan} you know
that I have been craving fall so I have been lighting this
pumpkin pie candle {TJ Maxx} all week!
For the thin stripes, I simply taped off small even stripes on the top
with painters tape. I used a brush to paint the old white
on top of the duck egg blue.
I kept the rim of the top of the table natural wood to add a unique
element & also to let some of the antique table show through.
I also left the metal claw feet natural as well.
What do you think of this shabby chic pinstriped table??
I am in love with it & I’m excited to have it in my house for
years to come. What kind of pieces in your house that have
memories of people you love?

Love this… as always!
Thanks Amanda
its beautiful
Thank you Jennifer!!
I love it! Was nice before, but it now has some personality. Great job, and I really like the colour you used.
Thank you Angie, I agree.. it does have a lot more character now!
Amazing as always! Love the color.
Thank you SO much! This color has my heart for sure.
you did a great job! i love that you left the rim and feet as is! so pretty!
That took me a while to decide on.. I wanted to leave something on it natural, but the top was in bad shape.. so the rim was the next best thing. I think it added a surprise element. Thank you so much for your sweet comment!
Really cute!! The color is great and looks like it has been in that room for years. Good job : )
Thank you! I agree.. it really fits in around here
Wow… def inspired to grab a piece of furniture and redo it~!
Good Megan! I’m so glad you were inspired! Happy Painting
what a gorgeous furniture revamp! i love the color!!!
Thank you so much Katie! Me too.. It’s one of my favs!
Really beautiful job! I love the color you used and the stripes design.
Thanks Sherry! I was very happy with the combination of the two as well.
Such a pretty makeover!
Thanks Brandi!
This turned out just beautiful! I love the pinstripes and especially the way you left the edge wood toned. So nice!
Thank you Miranda! I’m really glad that I left the rim natural wood. Good decision making!
Love this piece, very refreshing with the pinstripe. Leaving the edge in its original state is an added feature. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for such a sweet comment!!

This is great! I have my grandmother’s dining room table/chairs and matching buffet that needs the tops redone. I’ve been wanting to paint it but have been a little unsure. Seeing yours gives me inspiration!
I’m so glad you were inspired!! That is a lot to paint & will be so much fun because it all means a lot to you
Happy Painting!!

wow this is soo adorable! i love your blog and the whole design of it too. great redo
Wow, what a great transformation. Visiting from Overflowing. I love all the little nuances- the metal feet, the wood rim, etc. It’s so easy to just paint the whole darn thing one colour so I love that you took the time to treat this piece right! Loving the robin’s egg colour too! OH and where did you get the antlers? My friend’s looking for a piece just like that!
Love the table. I have it’s twin in my garage. I found it at an estate sale & have been looking for the perfect inspiration to repaint it. I just found it! Great job and I am totally going to do the stripes!
Thanks for sharing!
Have a happy week!

Mmmm, beautiful!
If you decide for some reason you just can’t stand it in your house any more (as if) then I’ll happily take it off your hands. Amazing!!
I highlighted this post on my blog tonight! Thank you for linking up to Centerpiece Wednesday and sharing your idea with us!
Karin
Love what you did with this little table. Like it so much I’m featuring it on the All Star Block Party. Head on over and grab your button.
Thanks for sharing this project.
I got a very similar table when my Grandma passed away last year. I love it and plan to keep it for a long time. I need to refinish mine as well. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is just beautiful LizMarie! I love how you left the wood exposed around the rim. Thanks so much for coming out to the party at Clean and Scentsible. I’ll be including this with my features on the weekend. Enjoy your week!
Jenn
I’m loving that you were willing to make something fabulous out of a family treasure. It has so much personality now!
Liz
It looks awesome! I love the stripe, what a fun idea and application. I think your Grandmother would approve. I’d love for you to share at my link party tomorrow or just come by and say hi!
Super Fabulous! Gotta pin it!!
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love that it was your grandmothers. I have several pieces from my grandmother too and they are so special to me. You did a great job on this table! I’d love for you to share it at my new blog party, Twirl & Take a Bow at http://www.houseontheway.com. It would make a great addition to the party!
Adore the pinstripes! How cute!

This turned out great!! The color is beautiful
I love this-especially the color you chose! Here from TT&J.
I’m not surprised to see so many of your friends…LOVING this pinstriped table. Add me to the list of those who adore your blog! I’m featuring you tomorrow. XO, Aimee
I love your table! I’m renovating a cottage and planning on painting all my dark furniture white. I have been reading alot about Annie Sloan paint.
I have no experience with furniture refinishing. Do you think I need a class?
My local AS distributor offers it, but I thought $200 for 3 hrs. was rather pricey.
What do you suggest?
Thanks!
Vicki
This might be my favorite projects of yours ever! I love the table so much.. It just has such a nice structure and then with your amazing paint job it looks fantastic!
-Peggy
I love it…. Did you paint the top with old white then tape and put duck egg blue on top of that ?
This is just so pretty! It was featured at our Uncommonly Yours link party!
Take care,
Trish

I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post’s to be what precisely I’m looking for.
Do you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs?
I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on a few of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome weblog!
Super cute!!
Random question, but do you know the wall color of this room? I love that shade of gray!
I have admired this piece before! I do have a quick question! Every time I try to do stripes on chalk paint when I take my tape off it peels the paint off. Do you have any tips? Do you wax before you do the stripes?
