So, after a great vacation, normal life, and three sick kids later I'm back. Oh, and I got a camera! Hopefully the photos will be looking a little better from here on out! Now for that before and after....
I got this little side/end table from a neighbor's yard sale. It was pretty beat up, but I knew I could make it pretty!
Ew right?
And the after!
Pretty right? ;) I love the little knob I got at Hobby Lobby!
I sanded the top, cleaned it all up, and then painted her with homemade chalk paint. But she was missing something. I distressed it, but that wasn't good enough. After experimenting a bit I used wood stain on top of the paint to show off all the nice details. Perfect!
The picture below shows the true color.
And a few more pictures just for fun.
What do you think? Was it worth the hours of work? I think so. :)
