Enter Natalie of Natty by Design.
This girl knows her stuff (and is totally glamorous…definitely not the type I would peg to have a thing for power tools and a paint gun).
She takes blah furniture and turns it in to “I have to have that” furniture.
I always think that I can save money and get the exact look I’m going for by doing it myself. Most of the time that’s how it works out. Some of the time I end up spending much more time and money than I originally budgeted for (like in this case) and it still turns out botched. I’m learning that sometimes you have to know when you are in over your head and let a professional take over.
Take it away Natalie! I should have called you from the get-go. Can’t wait to see the results.

I totally agree with you about DIY. Sometimes I wish I would just suck it up and have a pro do the work. Can’t wait to see the ‘after’ 🙂

All of them are such nice pieces!

I found this out when I tried to upholster an antique rocker. Oh my did I open a can of worms. It still isn’t done. There are professionals for a reason!!! Upholstery is much harder than it looks, Kathysue

Natty is sure talented. Can’t wait to see the ‘after’!

Your table will be lovely I’m sure. Sorry it hasn’t worked out thus far. Hind-sight comes too late.

I’m another satisfied Natty customer! She did a fantastic job on a nightstand for my girls’ room. I can’t wait to see what she does with your table!

It’s called “Sweat Equity.” Losing your mind is sometimes just not worth it, from a sister DIY.

i actually liked how you finished it before….i can’t wait to see what she does with it….what a great find, i would kill to find a table like that. if i had one it would be a chippy white painted base and a gray weathered top…..
i can’t wait to see the final result..
hugs, cindy
DIY Mom says
There is something about other peoples “failed” DIY projects that make me feel better. Not that I want them to fail but that I am not alone in my own attempts. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see Natty’s results.

Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Great choice of colors!
