To start, I grabbed this ugly old (and cheap!!) little table from the basement. I have had this for a long time...and I am pretty sure it came from my mom who got it from a rummage sale. I wanted a spot for the girls to be able to store their hair clips, play jewelry and brushes. The bathroom counter wasn't big enough for their box so I painted and distressed this table. I think it turned out fun and much cuter than when it started!

Show me your thrifty makeovers!!! I have a tiered appetizer stand I am working on now. :)
Oh...how cute! I'm right there with you. That is part of the reason I haven't scrapped as much lately. LOVE the hunt for items to make over (thrift shops and garage sales). We've had such a long cold winter I haven't had many chances to get to painting yet though. I can't wait to see your appetizer stand!
ReplyDeleteOh and this was my biggest make over project: http://dream-bielieve-imagine-mustangkayla.blogspot.com/2009/06/goodwill-party.html Or trash to treasure as I like to say. The bottom piece was a hand-me down for my first apartment. The top piece I found on the side of a road/edge of a driveway with a 'free' sign on it! I painted them both black and everyone is shocked when I tell them they are two miss-matched pieces and one was off the side of the road!
