Yippie! A Bedside table!!!


I finally found one! I have been on the hunt for a nice bedside table for my daughters room. And I scored one at Goodwill this week.






It 's got beautiful long legs , dove tail drawers and is heavy. The style matched the desk she already had from PBT perfectly.
Sadly someone decided to decoupage lovely flowers all over the top. For the love of Pete, WHY!
So first I had to strip those pretty little buds off. That's when I noticed the reason behind the WHY. Someone had puddy filled a good sized dent and tried to cover it up. So I was stuck. Do I really want to go to all the work and sand and fill and sand that top?







Um....NO!




So remember this?
I decided it was time to put it to use and sprayed it the same color as the handles on the table (Watermelon).







After a nice coat of primer and 2 1/2 cans of Ivory spray paint I was done! Using a small piece of sand paper to distress around the edges.




Please, please tell me that the "distress" look will always be around. We all know what children can "accidentally" do to furniture!




Here is what she had before ... {please no comments on the wall color...I know it glows but she loves it}
This table was fine but had become a little unstable and was lacking drawers. Please overlook the uncoordinated picture. It hangs there untouched with sentimental meaning.




And here is what it looks like now...
Yes, I did move that sentimental picture and replaced it with a little sparkle.
I am thrilled with how it turned out and Hannah has already filled up those drawers with her girly things.




And guess what?




I only paid $13.20 for it!




I also picked up this little frame for $0.90 cents.
All I did was spray the frame black. Then placed double sided table on the back of my picture and taped right over that little spring bouquet.
Happy Hunting! And visit all the other great finds over at

  1. Your daughter's room is beautiful! The table turned out lovely- I have this addiction to bed tables, I own four...I've started "loaning" them to my sisters- my one bedroom does not need them!

  3. Like your table redo - you did good. Yes - those walls are a "little pink" . :) No sure, but think about the same color as one of my Granddaughter's walls - Don't know how she sleeps at night. :)

  8. This looks marvelous! I love the pink transformation (and yes distressed will always be in style!). EXCELLENT choice of bedside table -- practical and classic!

    LOVE the pink in your daughter's room. One of my daughters once painted her room Jadeite green, the other daughter had brilliant pink, turquoise and purple. Yikes. But they loved it, and that's what counted.

    Lovely post, thanks!
