Upcycled Metal and Glass Goodwill Table

I was at the Goodwill as I always am a few times a week and I spotted this metal bottom and glass top table. I thought it would be a challenge because I'm not usually keen on pieces like ...»
this but something about it was calling my name. I paid 20 bucks for it. After it was sitting for quite sometime the idea of chalkboard paint for the surface came to me. I sprayed the top with Krylon black chalkboard paint, which is perfect for writing those little reminders of what to TiVo, what not to miss, or even just a daily reminder of how beautiful life is. As for the bottom half I decided on a green shade in Pistachio from the Krylon line. The bottom was so detailed I decided to spray paint it instead of using a brush. You can see the step by step process and more photos at my blog....http://quirkycool.blogspot.com/2013/04/upcycled-metal-and-glass-table.html

Thrifted Dresser Turned Shabby Chic

I'm an avid thrifter. I go out about 3 times a week in search of the gem among the rubble. I've been looking for a dresser for a while now and on my 3rd jaunt to one of my favorite Thrift ...»
Stores last week I found this antique dresser, all wood, and dovetailed. The only flaws were the "dents" the employee said. If he only new......The roughness of the piece adds character. I took it home got immediate color inspiration from a flowered water color like print from a new throw pillow. I decided on doing two tones on the dresser and am thrilled how it all turned out.

Materials Used...

1. Miniwax Water-Based Wood Stain in Green Tea

2. Pantone Paint in the color Nude with a Satin finish

3. Knobs- Hobby Lobby 50% off.

To see the process, my color inspiration and a funny little story about my missing knobs check out my blog http://quirkycool.blogspot.com/2013/05/thrif...

  • Here's the "before" table - I found it by the side of the road, in a neighbor's trash pile.
  • After sanding and painting the table, I added a rag rug to the top, attached with a staple gun and glue on the edges.
  • Rug attached. Hank approved.
  • Using the "rags" from the rug for trim.
  • Glued the trim over the staples to hide them.
  • Trim glued in place. I used a hot glue gun.
  • Finished! It just needs a glass top. The rug top is too flexible to be a table top.
  • Another view of the finished table.
  • The table in its new home.
