I found a rather yucky fern stand with great lines and a cheap price...
$1,
so I knew that I couldn't pass it up.
This is the before picture...
Yucky right? Well, I did some painting & creating and this is the shabby outcome of my efforts!
Now, it's just a sweet bedside lamp table. After a new top, I painted black and white check on the inside only of the legs and added swirls to the bottom.
Sweet, shabby, simple!
A cute hat lamp shade from Hobby Lobby and I added the teacups since this is the room with the teacup chandelier that I made last year. You can read more on that HERE.

I Love it! That bed is so cute, such pretty soft colors and that sham fabric is really chic! Oh, and of course the table is adorable. Perfect size for the cotage-y room.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Linsey
That is really nice!!! Great job on the table and the bed is beautiful with the soft colors and special pillows!!!
ReplyDeleteTerry - it's really gorgeous - the whole room is beautiful!
ReplyDeletePeggy
The room is just like a fairy tale!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Everything is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat find and it looks so pretty, especially with your clever lamp sitting on it! I am back from an extended blog break, and so is Potpourri Friday! Would be delighted if you would drop by and link up!
ReplyDeleteTerry--this is gorgeous! Beautiful painting job you did on this lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great makeover - Was it hard to get the original top off the base? And you KNOW I love those checks!
ReplyDeleteCute, Cute table, especially after your fabulous transformation.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Wow--love it! Love those legs.
ReplyDeleteHi! Dropping back by to say thanks for linking to Potpourri Friday!
ReplyDeleteWow, great job! We have one very similar, it even has the crack on the top! I need to add this to my project list. <3
ReplyDeletefancyco.blogspot.com
What a great table! The checks and swirlies are a nice touch. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteTerry, This is such a BIG transformation! I love the cheeky checks! WOW!
ReplyDeleteYour project would be perfect to share at TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS, my new weekly linky party! It is live every Wednesday evening at 8:00. Come on over and join in!
I dont think you can beat a dollar can you? Not for what you turned it into. Looks great as always.
ReplyDeleteLove the black and white checkerboard......what a neat addition. Great find at only $1.00.

It turned out adorable! Loved looking at your blog. You have some many cute and clever ideas!
ReplyDeleteThe price was right and the transformation awesome!! I am guessing you copy and paste that list of link parties. Where do you keep it saved that the links stay active? Do you use a word document or do you have another trick. I like it!!!
ReplyDeleteThe price sure was right - how could you go wrong, and you certainly didn't. It turned out adorable. The checks fit right in! Did you hand paint the swirls? So glad you shared your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – your creativity helped make the party a success!
ReplyDeleteOh, my Lord, Terry! This is adorable. You have such vision. I'll bet you a dollar I would have passed up this little stand! I would have never thought of adding a new top! You're smart too. You know how I love your painting and the little checks on the insides of the legs is genius. Your bedroom is adorable too.
ReplyDeletebe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Came over from White Wednesday. Cheap has become classic. The distressed painting, the swirls and especially the check detail inside the legs all make the table so special!
ReplyDeleteDistressed Donna Down Home
