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!

I like it! Thanks for adding details like what paint, spray, and tools you used because I have a desk that needs a makeover…so I'll be coming back here and taking notes =)
isn't she so lovely, she's a she right? I love the contrast that the cream adds. Beautiful
Beautiful lines on this table and a nice simple transformation! Love it!
I totally share your enthusiasm on doing a non Christmas project, big time. Your table is wonderful! And I really like the add-ons. Instant character.
Thanks for linking up to SNS!

Wow! That is too cute! I love the dominoes you have hanging above it as well.
that table would be perfect next to a desk, set a scanner on it, paper underneath the top tier and you are good to go!
What a great find – Love it!
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?
