Happy hump day. Hope your week is going well. Just wanted to take a quick sec (ok more than a second) to share my new end tables. I purchased these end tables from the Spiegel catalog in 1990. Spiegel is still around (online) but I don't think they have a catalog anymore or sell furniture. These end tables have moved with me four times. They have been used in the living room, family room and spent time in storage. About a year ago I drug them out because I needed a larger, sturdier end table but never really liked the color (kinda country). I wanted to update them and decided to strip and stain the top and paint the bottom with light green chalk paint. I think this design choice has given them a more modern, craftsman feel. Not bad for a set of 23 year old end tables! Enjoy!!

ReplyDeleteit always amazes me what a difference some paint can make, and that dark stain on the top is perfection! thank you so much for linking up to the before and after party!
ReplyDeleteLove the "new" table! It looks great. I especially like the contrast you did with the top in the dark stain. I shared this on Google+ today. http://goo.gl/t7lSpz Thanks for sharing, D@TheShadyPorch
