Coffee, Tea and a Table Makeover

Byljanning@dukemanorfarm.com

I just love the chance to meet up with my girlfriends for a little uninterrupted chit chat don’t you?

 The chance to catch up on whatever we want. Drinking our coffee or tea, and for a good hour just talking about our kids, our husbands, decorating and life. Oh….and tables.

 Tables like this that needed a little more cream, or sugar…or both.

I wasn’t  exactly sure what this experienced coffee connoisseur  really needed, so I brought it home with me to figure it all out. Did I tell you that my girlfriends love when I come for coffee cause I always leave with a piece of furniture.

But I don’t mind, because cause I get so much more then another project and a cup of coffee. I get someone’s friendship and a glimpse into their heart. I get the chance to be a girlfriend, to be trusted and to be loved. We get to laugh at ourselves and kick back…. if only for that precious little hour. 

But that’s okay. I will take my hour any morning!

Tell me, do you make time to have coffee/tea time with friends? 



PS- I used AS Old White Chalk paint on the base of the table and sanded the top and applied Minwax in Ebony followed with a clear protective on the top.

Grateful for~
Girlfriends

  9. This is just beautiful, Laura! I love that you left the top it's natural color, it really adds character.

    Wish I could get together with friends more often but we are so spread out (time and distance!). Good for you!

  14. Sadly, no coffee/tea … my girlfriends and I usually hit the "hard stuff" when we get together. Oops! The table looks fabulous!!

  16. I do take time for visits with friends. These days the majority of which I have coffee while reading their blogs and leaving comments.

  17. Oh Laura, I love what you did to the table! The top is beautiful and pairs nicely with the distressed white. (Perfect for a get-together with the girls!)

  21. I do! I do take the time to be with them. My friends are cherished treasures. Many times it is only on the phone, both with our morning coffee because some live so far away. Other's as close as across the street. I ALWAYS have time for them. Always! Lovely post.. 🙂
