It started off as a cheapy that I got as a hand-me-down from my mom and I think ended up pretty adorable. I am still getting used to this blogging thing and remembering to stop long enough to take pictures along the way is a little challenging. So...here is the first picture that I remembered to snap...after I had already painted it griege. I had just gone through 12 sample paints from Lowes and Home Depot trying to get the best color for my refreshed living room, so I decided to use one of those samples for the table. If you are interested, the color I went with is called Ivory Brown from Valspar.
After I painted everything twice, I distressed the edges a little with a fine sanding block because I adore the look of distressed furniture (and, more importantly, I have three kiddos and know that it will get distressed anyway..so why not start with it that way?).
Then, I found an adorable mercury glass style knob for the drawer at Hobby Lobby during the 50% off metal decor sale? Love that place! Scored it for around $4 bucks!
Here is the finished table. I love it! Although I have purchased a few things for it, I haven't gotten around to styling it yet because I haven't redone the entryway walls yet and done want to see it all set up until then...ha, ha.. I know I'm weird.
Oh, but before I go and because I know you all love a great deal like I do, I got the wire crate at Hobby Lobby (are you sensing a pattern here?) It was originally filled with six little burlap plant arrangements that I bought to decorate the fireplace with (more on that later) and then I repurposed the crate with clear, glass milk bottles that I found at Michaels for $1.50 each. I love the farmhouse look. Not sure where this will end up in my house, but what a great deal!
What do you think? Better huh? :-) What projects are you working on? I would love to hear from you.
Blessings,
Amanda
