How to spend a rainy day in the garage painting furniture!

ok, so last time I mentioned I was repainting the kitchen island but it wasn't going well. Here is the picture of it not going well. I got the coat of green on with black drawing attention to the circle detail. But I hated it once I did it. So I painted it back to plain ceam and spray painted the handles black. I am still planning to change them but haven't found any I really liked yet.
here is a better shot of the handles and the rubbed glaze
This is my 10 dollar garage sale coffee table I repainted. It was yellow with honey oak top and drawer pulls. I thought it looked a little 90's dated so I gave it a few coats of cream and then spent hours rubbing in this glaze until I thought it looked right. I was going to replace the pulls with metal ones but then realized after banging my foot on it that the wood ones were gentler on my body parts. So I just spray painted them with some hammered metal paint.
I have been up to several other projects so come back to see what else I have been staying busy with lately!
