I saw this photo below and was instantly inspired to revamped an ugly old table that my boyfriend has. Instead of asking him to store it (and by store I mean hide) in the garage, I decided to DIY my own night stand!
Source: Made By Girl (From Room Service)Originally I was going to paint it a bright color like the one above but then I thought that would compete too much with my fuchsia drapes and the room would have way too much pink. So I decided to stick with a very pale blue.
DIY Project begins:
Is this an eye sore or what! It even has rust!After about a 1/2 of sanding and painting it, here is the finished DIY:
Although it's a bit on the short side, it works perfectly for a nightstand by my bed in the spare room. I love the how it's a great spot to place my favorite reads.
It actually is not as small as it looks in this photo though.
I think DIY may be my new hobby!
Side note: This past weekend I finally rented Twilight. Umm..I hate to say it but I didn't think it was that great. And I LOVE vampire and ghost stories. I thought it was a bit kiddie. You can tell it is made for teens. But maybe my view is skewed since I'm addicted to HBO's True Blood series.

Did you like Twilight? New Moon? I heard the books are better than the movies so maybe I'll read them.

FANTASTIC, love the little white table.
ReplyDeleteI did like the movies- but the books are better. So much more detail, as always with a good book turned movie. I didn't think I'd like them but I read every single one. You should read them and you can decide which team you're on for the next movie. Go team Jacob! (sorry, had to)

You're so good! How long did it take you to sand that? I have a huge table in my backyard that I am looking to make my springtime DIY. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe first two twilight books were OK- the movie really didn't do it for me, and it's not only because I am a loyal Buffy fan. But, they didn't.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Love,

Ooh girlie, what a beautiful project. Oh the wonders you can do with a sander and lick of paint. Love it.
ReplyDeleteTwilight and New Moon, oh my gosh, take yourself back to those dark teenagery days and it's perfect. It's like a funny walk down memory lane, except with blood suckers instead of bad boys!
Have a beautiful week xoxo
What a great project!
ReplyDeleteI just found your beautiful blog and I'm glad I did!

Well done! I love that blue. Cute but not totally crazy like the pink table. I'm always trying to tone down the crazy now that I live with a boy, and I think that light blue would pass!
ReplyDeletewhat an awesome idea :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow that worked out beautifully! I LOVE it! Time to go home and look for things to paint... I'm thinking the coffee table.... :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous job you did - that little table turned out so perfect! I have not ventured into the "Twilight" stuff yet... but I highly reccomend the Swedish vampire flick "Let the Right One In" - have you seen it?
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! I've been searching for [1] Nightstands & [2] A side table for an awkward spot in my living room. Now I'm thinking a DIY is in order. Thanks! :)
