Don't you think it's amazing how quickly this summer is flying by?
I can't believe it's the last week of July already!
Last year, after my new living room furniture was delivered,
I found I needed a little side table...one that would fit between the couch
and the radiator. I knew this would not be an easy find
because the space between is so narrow.
One day, I dragged my poor husband out into the middle of nowhere for
an estate sale. And there, I found it! The perfect table!
I know you're probably thinking,
"This was the perfect table?"
I know, I know, my husband was skeptical as well.
He was also not happy that I paid $20.00.
He thought it too much for something so beat up.
I brought it home, got right to work using
a little "miracle elixir" which I know
you all know about. :)
Annie Sloan's Old White chalk paint.
See now? She's looking pretty good, huh?
I stenciled the top for a little added something.
Exactly what I was looking for!
She really was the perfect table!
Don't you just love it when you rescue something
and transform it from ugly duckling
to beautiful swan?
Have a wonderful day, friends!
Great rescue! I love the legs on the table. Your paint job is so cute and I think every room needs a little something like that.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it look too bad to begin
ReplyDeletewith. But her transformation is lovely!
M : )
Fantastic transformation!! I really like the addition of the stencilling too, that really finishes it off beautifully and it fits the space very well. 20 dollars well spent I would say! xx
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Gina, I love it!! Light, bright and elegant...good eye!
ReplyDeleteGreat find Gina, I love the stencil too, Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteI love it, but the best part that you left out is how I imagine hubby ate his words!!! lol

From trash to treasure! It came out awesome! And for just $20! I'm sure your hubby changed his mind after the beautiful job you did on this table. Looks really great. I love your stenciling too! ♥
ReplyDeleteMy kinds of project here Gina. I love it! What a great score!
ReplyDeleteIt's true!! This summer has gone by faster than any summer I can remember. Do you think that means that we are in for a long winter ??
ReplyDeleteLove, love the table. It turned out darling, and the legs on it are such a cute shape!!
Enjoy whats left of summer.... don't blink, or you'll miss it :)

p.s still love that summer mantle of yours !
Your new addition looks great Gina! I think you got a pretty good deal since it fits where you needed it to. You'd probably never find the right piece in a store for that price! Enjoy the rest of your Summer!
ReplyDeleteI think that is such a perfect little table for that spot! I really like that you added the stencil.
ReplyDeleteYour table is absolutely perfect! And getting it thriftily rocks.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Gina. Love it.
