I'm not usually a red kind of person.
But remember when I re-did the wall in little man's room in this post?
I adore the red and blue combination.
I found this wayy cute table at Habitat for 8$ and knew it needed a home in a little boys room.
I mean, c'mon.
(and I just really needed an excuse to buy it)
I mean, do you see the detailing on the front and those gorgeous legs? :)
The knobs were this gorgeous bronzey gold color.
I was smitten.
So it sat in my garage for a while waiting to become a part of the family until I decided to finally be brave enough to paint it red...
And, of course, it had to be glazed...this is the first time I used black glaze on one of my big projects...
For some reason, I've been using brown glaze because I figured my house is so brown-toned.
But I LOVE the black glaze so so much better... it POPS...
See?
Oh my word, can you say GORGEOUS??
The knobs just glimmered... you couldn't even see their real beauty up against that original dark wood.
I just love it.
It has pretty carved details on every side...
It's just so darn cute.
I decided to add another little pop to it by covering some foam board with leftover fabric from little man's room and popping it into the drawer.
Best part... I can pop it out and change it whenever I feel like it.
Gotta love that :)
One more peek at the little beauty?
Little man says his favorite color is red.
Mine too...at the moment. :)
