A few months ago I had my very first yard sale. It was so exciting! I didn't sell all of the junk but I was so happy to get rid of our old coffee table & side tables. I was keeping them in the office and aside from totally hating them (glass tops are so 90s) they were also just taking up too much space. So naturally, after selling the table to clear space, I bought a side table to refinish and put in their place. This table cost $10.50 at Goodwill. $10.50!! I really had no choice, I HAD to get it.
I got a little excited and forgot to take the before picture and started painting. The hardware used is the original, it really didn't even need to be changed. To be honest, I hardly sanded it. One reason is that I hate sanding. That's actually the only reason. Sometimes wood stain bleeds through light colored paint (like this awesome off-white) but I knew I'd be doing two coats so I wasn't too worried about it. Of course once it was painted I had to sand the corners and edges to make it look old. I think it looks fabulous!
