DIY–Updated Table Stand

Over the weekend in the warm sunshine I was finally able to work on a $4.99 night table that I purchased at the Goodwill a couple months ago.

I’ve been slowly practicing redoing anything wood or laminate. I want to makeover a hope chest I gave to mom years ago and it came back to me when she passed. I also have my eye on a dresser my hubby has had since childhood that’s in our closet. My updates are simple, like this chair or this three-drawer side table . This really is meant to be a night stand but I’m not sure if that’s how I will use it. If I’m true to my mantra, it will travel around the house for a while until I find the perfect spot.

I cleaned the wood up with a bit of simple green, sanded a bit, then primed it with a couple of coats of oil based primer. The inside and the drawer accents is Rustoleum slate blue satin and the outside is gloss white the same brand. I used the same hardware and just zapped it with some gold spray.

Right now this cute piece is against the wall in a corner of my dining room until I make a decision to where it goes. I’m sure that will mean a domino effect of movement for othr furniture in my house. Does that ever happen with you? Here’s a bunch of pics.

I found this beautiful box on a trip to TJ Max recently and the star fish I found at the beach and spray painted using a metallic silver. I found the gallery vase at Goodwill for $3.99. The white bowl I purchased from Hobby Lobby and the plate from Home Goods.
