Cute little side table

Found this little table at the Goodwill. It was in pretty bad condition on the top, tons of wood flaking off.



So painted it a creamy white, then using Valspar Asphaltum Antiquing Glaze, brushed some on all the nooks and crannies. This piece is absolutely adorable with all its handcarved little details! I love the little balls on the legs, and the drawer designs are just awesome.





It had a super cute hidden drawer inside which I painted white and decoupaged with some cute paper.

Wish I could have kept her, but I sold her today!

end table makeover

Picked up this 1960s end table (or maybe it could be a small coffee table?) at the Goodwill for $10. Thought it would look good black.



I LOVE the hardware on it. So pretty. Painted it a semigloss black. Simple, but I like it.

Obsessed with empty frames

I LOVE the look of empty frames hung on a wall, especially them all being the same color. Some inspiration pics:
























Definitely on the hunt at Goodwill for some frames to make a wall collection like one of these.

First salvage

Yay! My first post!


My first salvage was this $7 nightstand from Salvation Army:







I gave it a little makeover with white paint, and painted the brass hardware black.



I also lined the drawers (using modpodge) with cute black and white paper.




Someone is coming to buy her tonight! Yay!
