Today we are showcasing this wonderful end table. It was purchased at a Goodwill thrift store for $8.00 !  She is made of solid wood but was in need of a little TLC.

    This was so ugly I couldn’t imagine why you even bought it, then, I liked it even less when you painted it BRIGHT blue. However, I should have known to hang on. I am amazed at what the distressing and the dark wax did to it. It is gorgeous, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I wish I had your vision.

      Hey Patty-
      I am laughing out loud!! You are so funny 🙂 Yes, this was a fairly ugly piece of furniture but the price was right. We were very happy with the finished look of our table. We really like distressing furniture after we paint it. We usually follow up with dark wax or a stain. This table does look great now 🙂

      Thanks so much Patty!!

    Hi Kathy-
    Yes, we too appreciate saving furniture pieces and repurposing them. We were pleasantly surprised with our end result using the blue color of chalk paint. It really did give the piece an updated look. Thanks so much!
