Room, room and more room! I’m not complaining…but when
you go from an 1200sqft apartment to a 2200sqft home…you seem to have a lot less
furniture. I've never had a living room and separate family room before, so we
are lacking in furniture. Our living room consisted only of a couch (my husband
got a almost new black leather Lay z boy couch from a client for free) and an
area rug that we moved from our dining room when we got our “grown up table”
(that post will be coming soon…and it is Amazing!) Needless to say…it was
lacking not just in furniture, but in character also. I knew I wanted to get an
end table that I could “fix up”. Below is a picture of my "inspiration" from Pinterest. Its completely not the color or design I wanted but I loved that they added their own creativity to it.
So I went to a few different thrift stores over the next week and finally found my diamond in the ruff. It was an old brown end table that had a faint smell of
cigarettes…ugh. After some much needed cleaning and sanding, and airing out, it
was ready to paint. I went with black (a reoccurring theme you will see throughout
my home) and used some of the leftover paint from our bathroom redo to give it
some character. Here is a picture of the wood before we started.
And here is the after shot. I love how it turned out, and in total it only cost me $10 for
the table and $1.50 for new knobs…can’t beat $11.50.
