Shabby little table
I have been eyeballing this little end table in a church thrift shop for months. I thought it would make the cutest coffee table if I were to make it over. Well I finally nabbed it for a whopping 5 bucks, and today I made it shabby, distressed, and awesome. It started out a stained brown. Here it is as I found it below. I had already sanded the top when I took these.
I love how this table reminds me of an old farmhouse table, especially after I painted it. I painted it a very light blue and then used some crackle putty to stencil some leaf patterns onto the top, then painted over them so that I could also distress them. they came out looking raised and after I sanded over them the greenish yellow color showed through. Now it's our coffee table!
