I had the honor of painting an antique drum table for a special person who’s like a second mom to me. She’s the sweetest lady you’ll ever meet and happens to be mom to one of my very best friends. I’ve pretty much adopted the entire family over the years since the rest of the clan is pretty fun too!
The girls were spicing up mom’s condo and wanted to paint a couple tables.
The first table she wanted painted was an antique drum table that was made a long time ago right here in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

I busted out CeCe Caldwell’s Vintage White and went to town, accenting the pretty detail in the pedastal with Pittsburgh Gray (two of my favorite colors, I might add:)
Come on over ~ the coffee’s on and the food is even better!

You’ll also find it in West Michigan in our Shizzle Design booth at Not So Shabby Antiques & ; Fine Furniture, 114 E. Main Ave., Zeeland, MI directions here.

Thanx for stopping by ~ a hui hou!
Gorgeous! I love how that leaf accent turned out when you used the 2 colors there.
thanx!
I love this makeover! I got my paint from you yesterday and I can’t wait to try it out!!
Thanx! Can’t wait to see what you paint!!
Shelly, I love how your drum table turned out. I recently painted two different drum tables. I love the shape & detail. I can’t resist putting a clock face on the top. It’s my obsession. Nice job! Dee from My Painted Stuff
Great idea:)
Just gorgeous! The table and the flowers!
lol! Thanx! Gotta embrace what flowers we can right now; we can’t plant annuals for another month here.
Oh why is it that everyone who does work that I adore is so far away! I live in NY and would not only love to have you paint some things, but would love to buy some of your pieces as well! We just don’t have your talent here. Maybe I need to move there?! Seriously, I wish I could have you do some things for me, you are so talented and my aesthetic and yours seems to be very similar. I love your posts and seeing what you have done! Great job with this table, it looks so much nicer now.
Wow Maureen! What a wonderful compliment ~ thank you!! I wish you lived closer too:)
FYI, I just pinned your table and it has 35 repins in about 5 mins! So pretty!
sweet!
Ooooh! You’re tempting me….I just seen a table similar to this on Craigslist and was tempted to buy it to paint. This looks wonderful and I love the gray on the carving. Mmmm….
Beth, I think that’s a sign you’re supposed to have that table – lol
It looks gorgeous!! I can’t believe it was made right there in Grand Rapids. If I come across a piece that was made there, I am calling you right away.
Love the wicker table too, she did great!
Karen, Furniture is what Grand Rapid’s was built on. In the early 1900’s, Grand Rapids was known as “The Furniture Capital of the World”. Lots of furniture history here:)
Hi Shelly, I just stumbled across your blog . . . wow your furniture re-dos are amazing. You really do stunning work. This must be the week for re-dos, I’ve been working on three projects this week for my back porch and just finished them today and posted them this evening. You have so many beautiful re-purposed things that it will take a while to go through your archives, but I intend on coming back and doing just that. Please accept my invitation to visit and maybe even follow my blog, too. Your newest follower, Connie 🙂 Have a great weekend.
Nice job! It really does come to life in white. Love how you’ve accented the detailing on the legs.
Have a lovely week!
Deborah
Thanx Deborah!
Beautiful job, Shelly! Love the detailing on that table. You are truly talented, girlie! 🙂

I never would have thought to paint wicker. It looks so great!
The detail of that table really pops with the paint treatment. Beautiful!
Love how you transformed this table!
Looks amazing~
This is beautiful! I’m now a linky follower and would so appreciate it if you could follow me back. Tx
This is a fantastic table! The details are gorgeous the way you accented them! They just pop now!
Really, really gorgeous! The white and distressing alone were pretty! I love that you added the gray in the detailed area for extra appeal!
Gorgeous, gorgeous! Love how the details of the table base really stand out now with the accents! Another great job on your part, but then that is a trademark of yours!. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday’s Best Par.tay!
Beautiful Thinking of doign this to my grandmother’s drum table (now mine). Did you just mask off the feet? Those feet perplex me! 😀
