So I picked up this little beauty at a middle school rummage sale a few weeks ago, for a mere $3.00.
I cleaned it, primed it and sprayed it with multiple coats of spray paint. Then I antiqued it by applying a mixture of glaze, some brown acrylic paint I had on hand and a little bit of MinWood's Special Walnut stain. It was still missing something, so I took some toile fabric that I had left over from another project, and decoupaged it onto the drawer. I attempted to put toile on the top, but it just didn't look right, so I ripped it off. The floral knob I picked up at the hardware store, and it was an ugly brassy color, so naturally I spray painted it. Such fun, and this little end table was given a new life.
Sorry for any shadows that are in the pictures. I do not have a fancy SLR digital camera, so this is what you get!
Well done. Love the picture of your yard.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog! Your end table turned out fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the toile on there! Love it! You go girl! It is beautiful. I need to start on my kitchen cupboards.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cherylann! I love the toile also! It was a fabric remnant that I had left over from when I did my studio chairs!
ReplyDeleteKitchen cabinets are on my to-do list as well. I plan on doing it this summer. We should do ours around the same time. - you up for a challenge?
I absolutely adore this!

That turned out darling! Oh... I found a link to your blog (and mine too!) on a RUSSIAN website. I’m sending the site and I also translated it with Babelfish translator. Thought you might get a kick out of this. Too funny!

Thanks for stopping by, and That is pretty funny! I noticed that I had a new follower that is Russian. Here is the crazy thing, I double majored in Russian for awhile when I went to college, but am a bit rusty. I can still read it though, speaking, not so well. However, I have a brother that is fluent in Russian.
