New sewing table

Here is the before .... (except for the white tray)  The table had 2 holes for glass inserts- I made one larger to accomodate the tray for my scissors and other items- the other side will house a pin cushion.


Next I painted the legs a blue that matches the stencils on the walls- It's the same paint :)  I sanded down the wood a bit- but I added a bit of primer into the paint so it will hold better.  I've also used a gloss trim paint that's meant for wood.  (I wanted shiny motifs on the walls so I used a gloss paint- handy for right now)
And then I added a moasic peacock made from tile- surrounded by some pretty blue/green/light blue glass tiles I got from Lowes. I used a spray tile adheasive from Lowes that I adore!  Just spray it on and it sticks... no trowling it on :)  This part isn't easy to keep straight.  With all the curves on the peacock there are some spaces that are weird- the grout fills them in a bit- but you can't be anal about perfect.


Here is the glass tile all filled in..........
