Trio of Side Tables

I picked up a bunch of small side tables over the last few weeks, here are just a few.

A trio of cute side tables in my favorite colors!

 

Shabby Magazine Table

Sometimes people ask me where I find my pieces of furniture. Well, I find things at garage sales, auctions, craigslist, and even dumpsters(seriously, people throw some really cool things in the trash). 

This magazine table was a piece that a friend picked up for me at a garage sale. You know you are a true junker when your friends are texting you pictures of furniture that they find at garage sales just to see if I want them to pick it up! Hahaa!

 

Super cute lines and detailing, this piece turned out adorable after I painted it creamy vanilla and shabby'd her up a bit.

I've got the best friends:)

Shabby Turquoise Cabinet/Dresser

What's not to love about this beautiful cabinet?!
She is really well constructed so I just cleaned her up and gave her a vintage looking turquoise paint job. With several pull out drawers behind the doors and one large bottom drawer, she is ready to store a ton of goodies!

Wish I had room...I'd keep her for myself!

Dimensions:

40"w x 22"d x 44"h
 $249

Amazing Aqua Dresser

I rescued this amazing dresser from an old farm building. If you can imagine, they were using it for a work bench!

It's made of solid oak construction complete with all four original wheels. The bottom drawer was broken beyond repair, so we replaced it with a shelf and a couple baskets. I painted it a beautiful aqua, I think the paint chip called it tropical oasis.

It's fun and it's functional! I envision it being used for a TV stand, bedroom dresser, hall/entryway storage!

Dimensions: 42"w x 20"d x 29"h
SOLD

Vintage Ivory Side Table

What a cute traditional table with a sweet drawer and brass feet! I cleaned this beauty up, painted it a creamy ivory, lightly distressed the edges and sealed it with a coat of poly. 

Dimensions: 26"w x 28"h

$58

Antique Two Tone Grey + White Buffet

Just finished up this nice buffet this past week. The old dark stain just didn't suit the cute lines on this piece so I brightened her up with a neutral grey and creamy white.

She's a beauty!
Dimensions: 54"w x 18 1/2"d x 36"h
SOLD

Antique Upright Dresser

This dresser was a real mess when I found it, but I thought it had lots of potential.

I repaired and replaced the damaged parts, made some new shelves for the inside, primed it, painted, sanded, stained and sealed it all with poly. Some if the original hardware was missing so I updated it all with matching antique knobs.

She had potential alright!

SOLD

White Kidney Desk

I picked up this little kidney shaped dressing table/desk a few weeks ago. It was really solid, but just needed some refinishing. I painted it pure white, sanded the edges a bit for a light distressing and finished it with a clear wax. I left the knobs unfinished for a little contrast.

 

 

Buttercup Dresser

I started this project weeks ago but ran into some issues getting the new hardware so this one sat in the garage for a lot longer then I had anticipated! Nonetheless, she is done now and cute as a button!

The mirror on this dresser was in terrible shape so with a lot of help from my husband (well let's be honest, he did it all)...he cut, cleaned and clear coated this really cool rusty metal screen and installed it into the frame. To balance the rusty metal screen I thought the glass knobs were a must have.

This sturdy dresser will be super cute in an entry with pictures displayed or an office message center or in a girls room to hang jewelry on.

SOLD

Memorial Weekend Projects

Happy Memorial Day! I want to take a minute to thank all the men and women that have served and defended our country and our freedom!

______________

It was a cloudy, cold and rainy memorial weekend here so what better then to hit the local flea market and pickup on some really fun pieces for my next sale. There were way to many unique items to picture them all here, but this is just a few of my favorites.

The first thing I purchased at the market this weekend was this 48" vintage chicken feeder. I repurposed the feeder as a planter on my deck and planted it with some patriotic colored flowers:)

My mom and I picked up a huge jar of white buttons and she created this adorable button star on burlap. I'm in love with this whimsical patriotic piece!

The last piece I picked up was this vintage tin. It has beautiful patina and it's like 16" tall and could store a lot of craft supplies, garden tools or simply be beautiful just as she sits:)

Oh So Shabby Side Table

This side table was salvaged from a former life as a dressing table. Adorable hardware, lovely lines and cute legs...I just love this little table.

SOLD

Tin Cans

I can never pass up tin cans...antique, vintage or new there is always a use for them in my house.

Here I attached the cans to an old weathered door panel--a mix of new and old to create something very useful! Possible uses are endless, but I thought it would be fun as a centerpiece, an office organizer, or a silverware/napkin holder for a BBQ or picnic.

Excuse the fake flowers, I was hoping to have lilacs for the photo...but no such luck just yet:(

Antique Flower Frog

I bought this adorable flower frog a few weeks back and just had to get some flowers to show her off!

Galvanized Hanging Containers

These fun galvanized containers have a hook on the top so they can hang or sit. Perfect for spring flowers to home organization! Oh the possibilities!!
