ugh. i can't talk about it any more 'cept to say that i'm making up for my post-free weekend by double-posting today. gives me somethin' to do while i pat my whopperful belly while loungin' on the sofa.
anywhoo... remember this from my last post, about 8 minutes ago?
of course you do 'cuz you're just watchin' your inbox a-waitin' it, right?

'sup wit 'dat fancy bra all pushed up on your laptop 'n stuff? 'dis is a family blog, ya know.
sorta.
yessiree, that la mesa was one of the germantown freebies i picked up at a time when i was wantin' to be a seller of painted wares. i raced through the finish of this curvilinear console and--ugh--sold it for a pittance.
after i peeled the veneer off the top.
why, exactly, would one sell a piece of furniture with a delicately carved drawer?
and those legs? doy. duh. dimwit.
whatev. i'm over it. fer sure.
totally fer sure.
okay, i'm not over it. not even a bit over it. i want want want want that table back and i want it back now.
or yesterday.
and since i can't have it then i want to know the owner of that aqua chunk of my heart is oooglin', ogglin' and igglin' it all day and night and in between.
or else i'm gonna sniff you out, hunt you down and .... somethin'. totally somethin' big and mean and scary and whopperish.
'cuz i have a lot of those malted brown balls hangin' here doin' nothin' but hangin', waitin'.
but not for long.

You did a beautiful job with the distressing and I really like that turquoise.
Hey WhopperGirl~
Yep...that was a BAD decision to let that beauty go. You'd have to pry it out of my cold dead hands. ; ) Nothing like a big hunk of regret to go with that Whopper overdose, eh?
WOW-i love this! My favorite color! Saw this on 'Not JUST a Housewife' link-up!
Oh...my gosh...I love this so much! Those legs are so beautiful! I'd love to have this as a kitchen island...if I had room for one.
Ever GORGEOUS!! I hear you coveting it (ha ha)...serves you right for letting it go!! Silly you!!
It really must have been hard to let it go...Such a gem! Great color and fabulous legs!
Oh, I feel your pain! That table is beautiful!
Hahahaha, hilarious. You are so funny!
(Love the table, but who knows what wonders you will find now that you have the space?)
Lubs me some Whoopers but it was the mini Resee pumpkins that got me all lazin on the chaize this time, bwuahahahaha.
I am blogless, so safe, right? Tee hee.
Oh,my gosh I'm not gonna tell you how gorgeous it is, cause it would just make you feel bad, right?
So it's really ugly and I know you will find something better, way better. Does this make you feel better? No, how about being proud of what a great job you did. Focus on positive, ok, not working? Just go cry, get it out of your system. Thanks for stopping by, I FB you!
It is a nice table, I can see why you would want it back. But surely you have some other treasure waiting for love right? When you pulled the veneer from the top did that affect the look of the table? I did this once with a desk and the top looked awful. Even after sanding and a bunch of paint.....
oh. wow. beautiful. i loooove those legs and that color.... love!
what an amazingly graceful table! You're right, who gets rid of that?!! I ask that all the time at thrift shops and garage sales. But their loss is our gain! Beautifully refinished.
Never, ever, EVER can you have too many whoppers!! ;0)
Amy, why did they sell that? Sure glad they did to you...she is gorgeous!
Amy,I have had about five hundred pieces of chocolate candy too if that helps. Your table is gorgeous and I would mourn that loss too. I sell a lot of stuff and I am a terrible seller because I want to keep it all. I cannot though even though more is more. hugs♥Olive from Olive Out
It really was pretty...

Beautiful...love your updo on this piece...that color is gorgeous!!!
Yeah, I'd be regretting that too. Hopefully it's in a good home. Gorgeous color and those legs! I'd be lucky to have some legs like that. On a table I mean.
I feel your pain. She's a looker!
Hi Amy, I'm a new subscriber to your blog. I love the details on the table legs and I love the rest of your work. Gotta go now, I'll be pinning until my fingers get numb on Pinterest. :) Keep doing what you do.
This is an absolutely gorgeous piece! I would want it back too! I gave you the Liebster Blog Award over on my blog today if you want to check it out :o)

WOW - that is a beauty! The legs are amazing!
Beautiful table...funny post. Legs are gorgeous. I'd love for you to link up to my party that's still going on. If you stop by, it's yesterday's post. Hope to see you there.
I love those legs! So sad that you sold but you'll find something just as nice I'm sure. Isn't that how the universe works?
Beautiful color and details!
Love it! I don't know if I could part with that one! Loved the aqua color - will you share which one it was? Thanks!
HI, love this piece! Please share what color you used.
She is a beauty...great legs, great color, great job!
thanks, all for commiserating with me about the loss of the this leggy beauty.
sadly, the color was a mistint from lowe's and then i tweaked it with white and some grey. yup, it's darn "custom" but i just call it "aqua"!
and, yes, i've learned that i cannot ever have too many whoppers...
Your transformation is pretty fabulous. Enjoy the weekend lounging/slouching :) I'm stealing your no reply comment, great idea to put in your post. Stop by for a blog visit!
So uh...yeah. This table is Awesome! And I LOVE reading your posts! New follower/stalker here. I say stalker lightly. I'll never get close enough to steal your paint. Promise.
Amy,
What a beauty you made there! I love love love the color and the way you finished it.
♥charlotte
That is a beautiful table! I would want it back too! Great Job!
That truly was a beautiful piece and I totally understand your regret. I recently sold a table I had bought for cheap to fix up. I decided I didn't have time or room for another project so sold it as is. It was so awesome and then I saw same table listed on CL for mucho $$. I could have done same, next time.
It is a gorgeous piece... I hear you on how you are feeling. I have furniture regrets myself! Thanks for sharing at Feathered Nest Friday!
What a beautiful piece that SOMEONE ELSE is enjoying! I'd have regrets too! But...if you can do it once, you can do it again, I say. What a funny post, and sorry about the whoppers!
Oh dear... that is one hot sexy mama of a table! Can't blame you for regret. Although, saying that, there is little that an overload of chocolate can not cure. Condolences xxx
Oh, Amy....I feel your pain, girl. That was one beautiful table! I've done that, too, with a piece of furniture that you've put alot of time into...then regret selling it. But...rest assured. Some better piece will come along. I promise! :)
xoxo laurie
Beautiful! I really feel your pain! Thank you for linking up to {nifty thrifty sunday} last week! I featured you at today's party! :)
xoxo,
Vanessa @ {nifty thrifty things}
That table is absolutely gorgeous!
What a beautiful piece. And the paint you added to it really "made it". You know what they say, "Better to have loved & lost than never to have loved at all".
Warmly, Michelle
I feel you pain on both levels... have had to many whoppers and also sold a piece of furniture that I want back! ":o( Yours was a stunning table though...I fell in love with it myself! Enjoyed visiting your blog!
I featured this table today at Mod Mix Monday!

Give us any chance we'll take it..Give us any wood we'll paint it... Were gonna make our dreams come true...Doin' it our way...
That table is GORGEOUS! I love all of the curvy details. You find the prettiest stuff!
HA. You're hilarious. And the table is GORGEOUS and dumb, dumb, DUMB to let it go... haha, not trying to make you feel worse, nope, not at all. I mean, things like that are a dime a dozen. I'm not making this better, am I? ANYWAYS, I'd really, like, fer sher, like you to share this over at Trash 2 Treasure Tuesdays on Kammy's Korner where some of my peeps can lament with you over your regrets... :) http://kammyskorner.blogspot.com/2011/11/trash-2-treasure-tuesdays-5.html
