Stencil project painting furniture
That's what he said! He meaning the hubster. I said don't worry I am not going to stencil the entertainment center...oh but wait that is a thought.
Not sure if I have ever mentioned that at one time years ago, my dear loving Grandfather lived with Mike and I. He moved from Buffalo to Florida with us in 1997. I was very close with him, and really could not see my life without him there with me.
Gramp had a small bedroom and needed some new furniture. We only bought a few pieces and I still have them. They are in great shape, but at this point a little outdated, and the one piece is tucked away in Jack's closet for storage.
The entire time I was doing this piece, I was thinking of my Gramp, he would have loved it, and said that's my Doo's.
He is the one after all that gave me that Debbiedoos nickname you know.
I suppose these pillows were my inspiration, and I never even knew it.
The boys like the new look....and so do I. Lamp is from the 1940's era.
A few other tweaks...as you can see behind the couch, this is a piece we bought years ago at Pier I...it was someplace else in our home, and I will show you soon what we replaced it with.
Duh, forgot to show you the before....I had painted the top and knobs black a few years ago. I may pick up some fun knobs, if I see some.
This clock was recently moved as well....this was over the couch, with two pics of the boys.

The lamp, globe, and table are perfect together. the table turned out cute :D Going back to look at the lamp....I am so digging the lamp...
It's cute but the BEST part is that it reminds you of your grampa! It looks like a totally different piece~ Hugs- Diana
That looks great, Debbie. I love your bonus room. Mine is just a storage room now.
Your room is so cozy, i love the colours!
Wow what an awesome job. Everything looks so good. I really like all of your posts. It is so much fun coming to your blog!
Perfect, I love it. So creative. Hugs, Marty
Love the table re-do and the little bit of fun retro vibe!
Great stenciling Debbie! I love how it reminds you of your Gramps! Such a great story! It really mimics the look of the pillow and I love the colors you chose!
=heather
It looks great Debbie! I love that room, it looks so comfy.

Wow--love the stencils and I always love to hear what a hubby has to say, ha!! Hubby's are about as funny as little children in what they come up with to say to us ladies!
It looks so good. Nice how it coordinates with your pillows that you already had.

Aww that is so sweet that your Gramps moved with you guys back then! Your story gave me the warm fuzzy feeling!! Of course you thought about him when you were redoing the furniture piece. So sweet, Debbie
Loved the finished piece too btw! :-)
My grandmother's nickname whe I was growing up - for me was Debbiedoo. I forgot that till I read your post!
you sure sparked a lot of life into the room and its decor with a small amount of color and pattern...
looks great
Love it Debbie!! Your bonus room looks great!
Love the blue paint and the mid-century modern lamp is fabulous.
It's so cute, Debbie! It's got a lot of personality! I love the pattern.
Love the new look of this piece. How ironic...my living room is the same color as your boys TV room. Love it!
Looks terrific! Your room looks like a comfortable place to hang out. Keep up the creative ideas, Debbiedoos!
I have that same pillow :)
Great job updating the table...I love the touch that the stencils added! Especially sweet that it reminded you of your Grandfather! Also, I love the lamp, too! So pretty and unique looking! :)
Awesome job on that table, Debbie.
LOVE that whole room.

Sorry, had to delete the last post...typo.
What a comfortable looking room! The wall color is pretty & you did a great job with the stencils.
That looks fabulous Debbie! I added so much fun and whimsy to the piece and ties so nicely with the curtains and pillow! Love it!
What a fun space! I love rooms tucked in between sloping ceilings like this. They are so cozy.

You did a great job on the stenciling. I like that it mimics the pillow & the lamp. Your comments about your grandpa were so sweet. I have such wonderful memories of both my grandparents.

The table and lamp look so good together --- I LOVE the pillows and the inspiration they gave you.
I've always wanted to stencil something but have been too scared, but I think I might give it a try!!
The table turned out so cute! The room tweaks are nice, too. Thanks for sharing.
Debbie, I love the design!!! You are making me want to buy some stencils. Aww
Very perfect Debb.... I fall in love with the stenciling so cute and perfect matching... A truly inspirational project

Love the room, very cozy. The colors are so beautiful and your stenciling is a great touch!
This looks great! I love the colors of everything!
Also thank you for the follow. I am following you too! :)
As always - too cute. I am really loving the curtains and the flow of your color palate. We have a guest room upstairs that REALLY needs some love so I am thinking I may have to steal some of your ideas... of course I am asking permission {wink}.
Loved the story too! Thanks for always keeping your blog so fresh and giving us great ideas... love it!
I love the tabletop all stenciled up and cute! The whole room looks very pulled together.
I think it's wonderful that you had your grandpa live with you. You must have a lot of precious memories of him.
Hi lovely lady. your room looks so cozy Debbie Great job !!! Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my tablescaps xxoo Diane

Ah, I remember the dilemma of this piece! I love the new look, great job Debbie!
Hi Debbie! That was so neat to hear about your grampa and how you got your nickname! I never really knew my grandfathers and I absolutely miss having had that in my life. I just love the makeover of that piece and seeing that lamp again made me covet it once more! :-)
Thanks for linking up to the party!

I really like how the top of the table turned out and how it fits so well with the lamp and the globe.
The blue stencil work looks beautiful. I never thought blue could be so adorable! I guess you really have got me to love it!
p.s. Your Grandpa story made me smile. :)

Debbie I saw pillows today with those exact same designs!! I thought they were pretty in brown. I love your turquoises!
wicked cool project!
tried to comment on your last post - but maybe its my cold or maybe I can't find the comment button? Wow thats a cool wreath!
Happy Friday-
Looks great! Aren't we lucky to have such wonderful, warm memories of our grandparents to treasure? My grandmother, "Mama", was the most incredible person and I always wanted to live with her. She passed away in the 60's and I still think of her all the time.
I know your boys are going to enjoy this room.

Hi Debbie~ love this table, the room and the post! I love how sweet this post is about your Gramps- I remember your kind words about my grandmother and you sharing with me about your Gramps and your blogging name too. What a special piece to have that reminds you of him. Thanks for sharing this at my party this week! :)
I loved hearing about your grandfather. Precious memories I am sure.
Love what you did with the table. Really brought it up to date. Hugs, Ginger
This looks so lovely. I look forward to you stopping by at My Dream Canvas:-)
Love it! Love the colors on the chest and the circles too. Interesting how it pulls in all the other circles! Very cool.
Would love for you to link up to Passion for Paint this weekend.

Debbie, this piece looks great! I love it, it is so whimsical and so- you! It looks like it was made that way. And I LOVE the addition of the 8 ball on the shelf, that was very unpredictable. :)

Nice update!
