Teal TV Stand & End Table Redo

I decided on teal for my TV stand and end table. TEAL. Of all colors. I love teal. The color is so adorable. And if it's a random piece of furniture or accessory....even better. I was surfing the web looking for inspirational ideas and this living room really sold me on the teal idea....

I love the color combination. It's perfect. And I really want that TV stand :) But anywhooo! So I ran to Home Depot with my teal idea and got my paint and ran home to start on my project. Let me tell you...I finished sanding, priming, and painting all in one night. Whew!

Here is the yuck factor. My laminate TV stand with holes on top and my laminate end table with parts of the top peeled off from tape. How embarrassing....

I had to do something with those dumb holes so I used wood filler. Probably not the best solution as this piece isn't wood...but it did the job for me.

I did some light sanding on both of these pieces and then did one coat of primer each.

I also only did one coat of teal paint. I let it dry for 24 hours before giving it an antiqued look with a wood stain.

So...what do you think???? Cute or ugly??

I am excited to see how the room looks when this is all said and done. Right now I am still working on getting the doors painted and put back on but I think it's going to look really sharp {I'll post pics when it's all done}. It's amazing what a little paint can do. I went from having two gross looking....mismatched pieces of furniture to two pieces of furniture that match and look new. All for the $10 quart of paint. I actually could have bought a smaller can of paint...I still have over half the can left!
