White Table With Sheet Music Lined Drawer

I found this small table (or is it a desk?) on Craigs List.  I played it safe, and painted it white.


This is a picture of the table before.


For the top, I just applied a few layers of Briwax dark brown.  I really love to use wax on a very worn surface.  It turns the imperfections into a beautiful patina.  Here it is in the process.


The drawer had lots of  "imperfections", too, so I lined it with sheet music.  A glass knob was the final touch.


These two gold pieces got a makeover in white as well.



And here they are in my booth.






This is the booth after the addition of my more shabby chic items.  I used the screen to divide the space.  I have a "French" side and a "romantic" side.



I enjoy both styles, so I plan on doing some of each.  I'm a little behind with my posts.  I have several projects completed that I hope to show soon.  In the meantime, I will be joining some of the parties on my sidebar.  Please go and visit.

  2. What a great little table, Janet! I have something that size that has been used as a table and currently as a desk. It is tucked up in a spare bedroom, but it could usea paint job. It is that horrible orangey looking stain right now. You've inspired me to add it to my painting list!

  6. Hi there! Your make-overs are fantastic. I have really enjoyed looking at all the pretties.
    I just wanted to let you know (if you don't yet) that your table/desk is really a vanity! My mom has had one for years and handed it down to me. On most of them, there were this swing-out arms in front of the drawer that you used for putting nail polish on.
    Your's turned out so cute. I painted mine light pink and put a ceramic knob on the drawer that has a little pink rose on it. I put a little shabby mirror on it and have used it for many years to put make-up on. Keep up the good work!
