Before/After


This is the little night stand that I found at the consignment shop last weekend.
I just love the legs, the molding, even the nob. I have no idea how old it is, but it looks so fifties to me.


And here it is after a couple of coats of black paint, and in it's new home.

  3. It certainly looks like the 50's. Sort of like some furniture my mother had. Looks wonderful painted black! Great job!

  4. Oh! I love that little table! We have one similar to it, it came from my in-laws house. You gave me a great idea --- to refinish it and make it look 'new' again.

    Hmmm...... wonder what color we are re-doing my daughters bedroom in???
