This table is enormous. It’s the perfect size for a dining room and would fit at least 6 people. And because it’s round it’ll be easier for your guests to maneuver around, especially in smaller rooms. It’s solid oak, with a funky pedestal, and brass details on the feet.

Semi-circle Entry Table
February 5, 2015 by Leave a Comment
This solid cherry table was unfortunately given a few (too many) coats of glossy black paint. I smoothed out all the brush strokes, stripped all the paint off the top, gave the top a rustic driftwood colored stain, and updated the base with a beautiful sea foam blue color. The pull was updated with stainless steel colored paint.
It’ll be perfect for an entry foyer, a nightstand, or even as a TV stand. Can’t you just picture this in your beach house?!

Island with Stained top
January 13, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Yes, this island started out a bit sad looking. But after stripping and restaining the top, adding a fresh coat of white paint, and topping it off with some casters, a new drawer pull, and giving the drawer interior a fresh pop of aqua, it’ll fit into any modern kitchen. Lots of room for storage – baskets, cookbooks, serving pieces or even pots & pans. And with the casters you can move it out of the way when not in use!

Square Mahogany Ottoman
January 7, 2015 by Leave a Comment
This square mahogany ottoman has a nice thick cushion on top. The fabric had seen better days but now it’s the best looking ottoman on the block! I gave it a bright white paint job (with a hint of distressing), and a vibrant punch of color with the yellow and white fabric. I can think of so many uses for this little gem….relax and put your feet upon it, use it as extra seating when friends stop by, or even a great seat for your makeup table. But I think it would look SO perfect in a nursery!

Jenny Lind style nightstand

I’m in love. Why oh why did someone drop this awesome vintage table off at the Goodwill store??? But I’m oh so glad they did. Score another one for me. I think it’s probably meant to be a foyer table, or even an end table, but I think it would make the perfect nightstand.

Coffee table with parquet top
July 16, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Yeah Goodwill! Every once in a while I take a stroll through one of our local Goodwill stores. More often than not I end up leaving empty-handed though. I’ve found that their prices have increased significantly over the past couple of years. And I mean c’mon….who wants to pay $149 for a beat up dresser that has to be refinished? Definitely not me. I’d much rather pay $149 for a dresser that someone else already sweated over…..hint hint hint. ;O)
That’s why I was so excited to find this little beauty. Yes, it was a bit beat up. Lots of dings and scratches. But the bones were nice. I stripped the entire piece, restained the top and the lower shelf with a custom mixed walnut/gray combination, and painted the skirt and legs with Benjamin Moore’s Horizon. I then slightly distressed the edges and sealed the top for durability.
Old bench table

I was scouring Craigslist one day, looking for a new kitchen table for myself. Or at least something I could turn into a kitchen table. And I came across the coolest looking vintage workbench. I absolutely loved the shape and size and thought it might make the perfect table for my kitchen. It was pretty dingy and beat up so I made a new, large top for it, which I just screwed to the existing top, And then I added a new wood top to the shelf below so it would match. Then the entire lower shelf was wrapped in new wood trim so that when I painted it, it would be nice and smooth. The top and the shelf got a beautiful coat of black stain. And the remainder of the table got a beach glass blue paint. It fits 4-6 adults comfortably.
