Antique side table shabby to "chic"

Antique sewing table shabby to "chic"!

 Before                   After

I found this beautiful Antique sewing table at my local thrift store. It had stunning hardware, carved detailing and stunning curved legs and I just knew it needed a second life, so I decided to take it home with me and re purpose it as beautiful side table. this piece  would be beautiful in a foyer, dinning room or even as a night side table.

With this piece I first started by removing the old sewing machine from the table and tacking down the top. This made the table half the weight and more usable as a side table.

For the color I chose a light  Paris grey chalk paint along with a light distressing and a top coat of dark wax for an amazing aged antique look and a final coat of clear wax.  I just loved the final product.

 

Black and Terquoise furniture

 

This super cute small chest of drawers has so many functions it could easily be used in an entry way, living area space, hallway, bathroom, child's room or even for a kitchen or dinning area.

Priced at $125.00

With this piece being raw wood I decided to paint a black base coat on it so it would have dark undertones when sanded. I used just a simple mat black furniture paint. Then I decided to wax rub the edges to keep some of the black when I sanded the piece so I wouldn't hit he raw wood. I chose to use this vibrant turquoise color because I feel small pieces can really be used well as statement pieces to add pops of color. This was my first time using chalk paint and I have to admit I did like it. I found it to be a thicker coat and easier stronger during the fianl sanding. Love the final look.

 Long black dresser/ buffet/ Server/  T.v. console

I love when I find these long dressers. I find them to have such appeal and repurposeablity (my made up word). Not only can it be used as a dresser but it makes a beautiful buffets and server or my new found love as flat screen T.V. console.

This piece is priced at $285
