Fern Stand Table

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.

  17. The 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!!!

  18. The 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!

  19. Oh, 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.
    be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

  20. 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!
