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!

You are brave, or just better at spray painting them me. I redid some end tables and ugh. They need to be stripped, sanded, primed and repainted. Needless to say, they haven't been done yet. I have to look for this paint. where'd you get it?

I love the table. I really love the dominos. Did you make those?
Nice little table. You are always up to something creative! ~ Sarah
That turned out awesome and goes so well in that little spot in your house. I am working on mine for January 7th!
This turn out great! Job well done! Happy New Year!
beautiful!!
Thank you for the thrifty link too!
It looks great! I love how the colors fit with your dominoes and how the scrolly piece works with your drapes. Good stuff!
I'm hoping to have something by the 7th for the no-hubby party. Either way though, I'll be stopping by to check everything out.
Happy New Year!

My grandmother had one of those tables. It was a telephone table. (in the days when telephones were huge and secured to just one place in the house.)
good job! I still need to do those dominos! It would be easier if you'd do them for me. 🙂
Turned out just gorgeous!! I know what you mean about the spray paint in cold weather. I sure can't wait till it warms up a bit!
