This little charmer was sitting all forlorn at a garage sale last week, and I just had to rescue it. That weird wagon wheel thing on the top was not working for me at all, so I tore it out with some pliers. Then I was left with these big holes around the edge where the wagon wheel used to be, so I bought some wood filler that was also made to be stainable. (Yes, I know, I wanted to stain it and not paint it black! Can you believe it?)
I filled the holes, sanded the life out of the top, and then applied a matching stain and a few polyurethane topcoats. You can barely see where the holes were, and the stain matches the legs perfectly. I think it turned out pretty well! Not bad for a $5 garage sale bargain, right?
Looks great. I get so inspired seeing stuff like this. I really like what you did with it and for $5 - thats just awesome!

ReplyDeleteI would have never thought to stain it-looks fantastic! So worth 5$!
What a bargain, I love it when no one sees the potential in something and I end up with an awesome deal and make it over myself. Great Job.

You do such a great job! Can I tell you that I am looking around for a candle-lier! Have you seen them anywhere else??
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job transforming the table. I like it natural color too.
ReplyDeleteI must have a ton of spice bottles and the same problem with them not fitting in my tiny cupboard. This would be a great way of stacking them. The lil table was a awesome find and the end results fit perfect with the decor you added.I was surprise the wood pieces came off without a hitch. I'll be looking at the tables I run into with more possibility's. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave a *Sweet Evening*!
Sara
That turned out fabulously!!! You did a GREAT job on it!
ReplyDeleteGood idea pulling those out. I see those tables all of the time second hand and never get them because of the "fence" around them.
ReplyDeleteDarling. I confess, I would have painted it black!
ReplyDeleteLiz
That's beautiful! I'm going yard sale-ing today. I hope I find something good like you did!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! $5??? Not bad at all!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! That table must be crying out a huge 'Thank You' to you right about now! It's lovely!!! Hope you're feeling well and all is good hun! ~ Les P.S. I am in love with the clock on the table~ where oh where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteI swear you must attend the same yardsales as me. I've seen many of these stands in the past and never thought to remove the wagon wheel thing as you've done.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!!
The same stool you'd painted black awhile ago is what I bought last weekend for a quarter.
Oh and the taco soup/stew sounds delish!!!
If only I could convince my husband my husband to eat the beans.
This is one of the reasons he detests chili.
MMMMMMM!!!!
