I am so excited about this table! It is so much fun to bring something back from the land of decorating neglect. Even better, I think, is being able to shop your basement for things that are ready for a makeover and are also free! This whole project cost about $75. (Replacing the legs was about $50 and the paint and glaze was $25. I already had all the other materials.) Not bad for a whole new table that I adore, huh?
So, once again, here's where we started. A nice, sturdy, heavy and boring work table.
And here she is now, with new paint, new stain, new legs and a whole new look!
And of course you probably noticed what is now sitting on top of my cute new work table. Yep, it's that sewing machine that I keep talking about. I don't know if I've been inspired by the new table or what, but my sewing machine has actually seen some action! I will definitely never win any sewing awards, but stick around to see what I've been making with this gorgeous fabric: 
I am heading back to Ohio for a week to visit family and friends, so probably won't be around much until next week. I'll be dreaming of toile in the meantime. See you soon!

Holy crapolie! That looks amazing, girl! Great job, loving that blue and the new legs!
That is a great table and I love the toile, of course!
When you get back come on over for my MONTH LONG GIVE AWAY with weekly DRWAINGS
Have fun-can't wait to see what you create-I love sewing curtains and home decor projects. I love creating something one of a kind that someone else can't just run and buy that looks just like mine but I don't really enjoy making clothing-too many factors and measuring and remeasuring and altering patterns to make it REALLY fit just right.
