New Life to an Old Piece

First of all, this is my very first makeover so I am a newbie. The hard part was figuring out what I wanted to do with this. I inherited this from my grandmother, it was always next to her seat on the couch. She used it as an end table/sewing storage table. It is a Martha Washington Sewing Cabinet knock off.
I decided to take off the wheels and handle because one of the wheels was broken and nearly impossible to replace.
So I put four new legs on and filled in any holes from the handle with wood filler.
I used a stencil I found at Michaels that I liked. After I finished painting I lightly sanded for a antique look.
I kept the original hinges for the side storage and just cleaned and painted them with some Rustoleum spray paint I had left over from another project.
Then, I found the perfect size storage baskets at Target and here she is! I am sorry I did not take step by step pictures…maybe on the next one,
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
- Rustoleum Chalkpaint (Home Depot)
- Stencil (Michaels)
- Storage baskets (Target)
- New legs (Amazon)
