Another Thrift Store Table Redo
Made another quick trip to the thrift store this week and picked up this bedside table for 5 bucks! It definitely wasnt my style at all but I just couldnt pass up a $5 table. And I knew I could turn it into something I loved.
It was missing some drawer pulls, however, it had really nice bones. And I cant walk away from a $5 table! I primed and painted it a plain white and the molding on the front of the drawers got a couple of coats of Cloudy Morning, the paint I had left over from the master bath. Then I added some glass drawer pulls I picked up at Lowes.
After I finished painting it, I decided I didnt care for the scroll work trim on the bottom of the table, so, off it went.
And I replaced it with a piece of scrap wood I already had. I just measured the piece I removed and then cut the scrap piece to be the same size, then I attached with nails.
After that, it needed some roughing up so I took a piece of sandpaper and distressed the edges. Heres a close up of the detail.....
Heres how it looks in our room!

Love it! Simple, pretty, matches our blue TJ Maxx quilt and does its job of hiding our junk by the bed.....for 5 bucks. Cant beat that!
Stay tuned for an awesome gift I made for my hubby for Fathers Day, inspired by a piece of 1951 memorabilia, our favorite summer movie and this. Can you guess what it could be? And Im gonna share another fun recipe perfect for Dad! Have a great one!

SOFA TABLE FROM A SEWING TABLE parts used to build
I built this sofa table starting with a sewing machine cabinet I purchased at a thrift store.
The finish was in fair shape but many of the moving wood parts didnt work properly anymore,
and the machine wouldnt lift out of the cabinet to use.
The legs are what really caught my attention from across the store.
Once I started to work on removing the machine I found a makers mark on the cabinet.
Made In Yugoslavia ... The machine is a Piedmont from the Hudsons Bay Company.
Anyone need parts for their Piedmont?
I was able to take the whole cabinet apart to start rebuilding a longer table.
I used a kick board for the front, and aged, stained, and waxed some new wood for the top.
Heres a close up of the finish I created for the top.
This sofa / console table went to its new home shortly after I finished it.

a copper top coffee table
update 8/16/2012 ... we delivered the copper topped coffee table today ... these things are tough to photograph ... after the patina, there are just so many subtle colors, and the metal is sort of shiny underneath, so you pick up reflections from just about everywhere ... but, its in its new home now, and it looks great there ... everyones happy ...
the copper turns into kind of an abstract expresionist painting ... the chemical is somewhat unpredictable in consistency ... were thinking it is that so much copper is recycled today that there are just all kind of things running through it ...original post from 8/14 below here.

were doing another copper topped table. we made the first one back in may for one of our clients who had a big empty covered porch ...
