Meet Miss Mesa

Miss Mesa, I think, has quite the personality.  When deciding how to "dress her up," I originally chose something neutral.  White base. Stained top.  And then I thought, "I think Miss Mesa has much more personality than that!" so I mixed a little gray, light blue, and white for soft pretty base color.  Then, she glared at me until I gave in and gave her base a pretty coat of blue/green and her top a rich and dark stain.  As of now, I think she's quite happy with the changes and is flaunting her stuff!

Here's a picture of Miss Mesa before her spa day (more like spa month!):

She didn't look too bad, but with a closer inspection, she had a surface that never looked clean and had lots of stains.  She needed to be refreshed!

And here's Miss Mesa now:

She even made some new ladderback friends at the spa!  They'll need a little more time at the spa...


I'm in love with Miss Mesa's new look!  The blue, the light distressing, the gleaming top!

She might have needed a facial:

And a good scrub!

But she was worth it.

Another picture just because I love her:


I hope to share a little more details about her spa experience soon!  

What do you think?

  8. Looks like she enjoyed her spa day! I love the dark top paired with a painted bottom. Plus the stained top will hold up so much better.

  10. UGH! I HATE the "BLUE SCRAPER"! When I think of "it", I have the very same feelings of when I think of the dentist! But it does make quick work of scraping off boat loads of ol paint! Love the table! Very nice job~
