I love MacKenzie Childs style
and the whimsical way that they paint their products. I get such inspiration from them.
On one of my garage sale hunts, I found this table and featured it in one of my Diamonds In The Rough! posts that you can see HERE.
Shown with all of its dirt and grime, I knew I had to paint this a certain way. Why?
Because my inspiration was this MacKenzie Childs table.
I don't know why, but I just have fallen in love with this table. I can't afford their price of $5200, but I can use it for inspiration. At one time I painted a small antique coffee table...
But I had no place for it so I sold it and have missed it ever since. Now back to the little octagon table. I decided to recreate this MacKenzie Childs table on this piece. Here it is in its finished state.

Love it. Now come by and see my MKC inspired mirror.
ReplyDeleteLove it..so pretty turned out perfect.
ReplyDeleteTerry, this is my very favorite MacKenzie-Childs-inspired piece you have painted so far. It looks fantastic in your home. I really like the birdcage chandelier behind it. Together they are absolutely stunning! I hope you do not sell this piece because it is so pretty in your home.

great job...and here's a bit of irony about this table top: I just bought the Cloud Watching M-C placemats on Craig's list - I will post about them on Thursday...wish we lived near each other - we could have "paint parties"!!
ReplyDeleteWow! that is amazing, you are incredibly talented. Fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteReally nice! I too am fond of MacKenzie Childs. I enjoyed going through your Home Tour. You have a beautiful home. I got a kick out of your watermelon propane tank! You have a new follower! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI have always liked MacKenzie Childs pieces, they are so whimsical and fun (but mega pricey). Also a big fan of checks, especially black and white. You do wonderful work and really capture the MK look.
ReplyDeleteGreat little table and the turquoise lamp behind it is a fun piece too.
you did a fantastic job with it! love the shape of the table- it can be used anywhere!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I recently passed up a table that would have been perfect for such a transformation. Just didn't think I'd ever get it painted, but I may check back tomorrow to see if it is still available. Thanks for sharing. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteI love that style too. Such a conversation piece. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing with my newbie party.

ReplyDeleteWhat. A beautiful job you have done on this table , it looks gorgeous in your house too , I've been checking out your blog, what a lovely place to visit ( beautiful photographs ) xx Ava
ReplyDeleteHow adorable is that! It turned out wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe table I just did [linked on Miss Mustard Seed] I wanted to do in a Mackenzie Childs style, but I chickened out. How did you plan it out, or did you just tackle it sans formal plan? The table I did had so many portions of the legs I thought I could do in a different pattern, etc, that I was pretty sure without a plan I would muff it up... so instead I chickened out.
ReplyDeleteI have another table waiting in the wings... maybe that's the table to tackle?
