Hi all! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas! I have so enjoyed spending time with John and the boys ~ I was going to try and get this post done yesterday but we were bumbs, to say the least, and I just didn’t get around to it…but here it is!!!
I don’t think I have done a non-Christmas project in a month or so….kind of feels like I’m reconnecting with an old friend!!!! Ahhhhh….furniture rehab…..feels good!
So I bought this little shanty at my favorite thrift store downtown! I loved the lines and already had a perfect spot for her! She needed a new paint job and some rehab to the rickety leg joints but she was exactly what I had been looking for ~ in the back of the car and home we went!
4 MONTHS LATER…….
After using her as a saw horse, paint table and storage shelf, she was ready for her makeover!!!
I lightly sanded the entire surface of the table and sprayed 3 coats of Rust-Oleum Canyon Black all over!
I then used my 3M sanding block to distress ALL of the edges to give her a good worn look!
Not completely satisfied to leave her as is, I purchased this unfinished wooden piece at Lowe’s for under $5 and painted it with Antique White acrylic (we have had low temperatures this week and the spray paint won’t dry in cold weather).
A little Ralph love ~ paint on and wipe off! (Ralph Lauren Smoke Glaze)
Next, I used Gorilla Glue Epoxy to secure the wooden piece to the end of the table.
Now for her debut….
She fits just perfectly in her little corner spot!!! Now that Christmas is over I can’t wait to visit the thrift stores again!

That looks great! I love the dominos on the wall too!
I love it, and I am glad you kept in black, and didn't do white or burlap… he he! Great job!
love the table…love the drapes even more! may I ask where you got them?
So cute! I would never have thought to put the wood cut out on it. Adorable!
Looks great! Ok, one question… Those dominos are cute- did you make them?!
Black beauty…you are absolutely right! I love this little table. The curves are so pretty. It looks so nice in your home. Thanks for sharing.
Nice transformation!
You are right. She's a beauty! Great job on such a charming table!
love this….great idea for redoing an old piece of furniture.
Ahh, back to what you really enjoy and what we really enjoy seeing…your crafty skills.
That turned out great! It looks so good in that spot. Enjoy!
Very pretty transformation!
It turned out great! You always do the greatest projects.
It came out great! But tell me why my Home Depot does not carry Ralph's Smoke Glaze???????
The table is too cute! I always look twice at those kinds of tables at the thrift store but I never buy one. I was just thinking the same thing today "now that Christmas is over, I can go to the thrift store!" haha
