So I have been collecting furniture from thrift stores and front yards for as long as I can remember. In fact I would say 3/4 of my house was free or VERY discounted. But I come from the family that feels that everything should be redone in it's original wood color. Well let me tell you, that has been a hard thought to break. But after many discussions(with my mom, the ultimate in love of wood color) and many blog readings later I finally decided to take the plunge.
I found this coffee table at the Thrift Store by my house for $19. I am so cheap I wanted to see if I could hold out until 1/2 off day but decided against it because I thought I'd probably never see it again. I'm so glad I didn't either.
Originally I was going to make this our new coffee table for our living room but after bringing it into the house I realized it had to be for my kids play room.
Here's the final product. It didn't cost me anything to paint because I used some paint I already had. And now my girls love their new tea table. They are having such a fun time with it.
I had a basket that fit perfectly under it.
I was so excited about how cute it came out I think I am going to go and paint something else. Hum? Maybe the hutch that I found in the trash? Well see.
