A Sweet Little Telephone table

This is a sweet little telephone table makeover. 
 I figured since I did the brown suitcase on my last post I could show you a "Hurt your teeth its so sweet" project.


I took this cute little brown table and painted it with Heirloom white 


Then I added a water slide decal, the graphic is from Graphics Fairy, I photo shopped in the rose


I wallpapered the inside with Vintage Laura Ashley paper


Then added my homemade polymer clay Paris knob, the tutorial is HERE


I priced it at $45 and it sold in a day


.....Hum maybe I priced it to low, you never know, had I priced it higher it might have taken months to sell


OK, was that tooooo sweet, are your teeth hurting?


Happy Crafting!


Carol

  2. Truly lovely! Pricing is such a tricky thing. I never know how to price my things.

  4. I think you could have doubled the price on that pretty piece and still sold it in a day! I would have fallen in love with it at first glance! ~ Maureen

  5. Fabulous! What a delightful change. I always start high when selling, as I can lower it if need be.

    Have a great day ~

  9. I love it, Carol! What a perfect little piece, too. I could just see this in a bathroom. I think you priced it just right. I'd have paid $45.00 for it, but don't know that I'd have gone higher than that. Of course, different parts of the country call for different pricing. I'm learning that what I thought was a good deal in NY, is high for Ohio.

    Once again you have made something plain beautiful, your own decal, your own knob, what next? I would not be able to sell it.

  20. That little table is adorable! I do think you could have gotten more but I am sure whoever got it is in love with it and that makes it fun. I love how you added that rose to that decal! That pop of pink adds so much! I am so inspired with the water slide decals--I can't wait to make a bunch more projects!

  21. My teeth hurt from a visit to the dentist this morning! I'd pick your table and any other treats you'll share any time over a visit to the dentist. They would be pure pleasure.♥♫

  22. I was going to say I had a toothache from all that sweetness but it was probably my sugary sweets that caused it! lol This is beautifully sweet!

  29. Oh Yes, Sweet & Adorable!!! I am getting ready to do a little Wood Table with drawers, and a Wine Rack below it that is Metal & Black. Wondering if I should do the Wine Rack Portion in White to match or leave it the Black. But I definetly need some of your Paris Knobs. Fingers crossed you do sell them doll!
