We felt it was time to add a little more pizazz to our welcome area (and I'm sure in the future we will add/change more -- that's the beauty of home improvements!). Our first project was the best kind of project -- a FREE one. We took this little stand/table/whatever-thingy and gave it a new look.
BEFORE:
This was one of the first pieces of furniture I ever bought when I first moved out of my parent's house (our current hand-me-down) and out on my own. I got it for $10.00 and my hubby (back then the boyfriend) put it together for me. I would have never imagined changing and painting this little table back then, but since I've started blogging and being inspired by all the great crafters out there, I couldn't imagine NOT changing it.
AFTER:
Brighter, cleaner, and definitely lightened up! I'm in L-O-V-E with the finished product! The hardware got painted black, the base is semi-gloss white and the top got a lovely coat of rich stain and varnish. Ahhhhh -- gotta love a good (and free!) makeover.
