Hallway

I've wanted a hallway entrance table for the longest time, so a while ago I decided to wing it a little bit and see what happens. I got this old tv stand type cabinet from Goodwill for about 5 bucks, took the doors off of it and repainted it. I forgot to take a  before picture but here is the after:



Ok, I know what you're thinking...that's a bookcase, not an entry table. Trust me, it took me a while to get used to the idea, but it fits the space perfectly! I really couldn't get a bigger/longer table in there anyway. Right?! It didn't have a back so I just used some super durable cardboard and painted the chevron stripes on it.

I love my burlap frames!



After a few months I had the itch to refinish something else and got that 3-tier table from goodwill for a few bucks. I didn't really have high hopes for it but it turned out really cute in the hallway. The main thing I did differently with the 3-tier table is I took a really old paintbrush and lightly brushed the edges with white paint to make it look vintage-y. It works better than sanding the paint if you don't want the wood color to come through. I wanted it to look overly done, if that makes sense.
