Thrift Store Gem for 3 Dollars
by
Cheryl Phan
One of my favorite things to do is go to thrift stores, goodwill and garage sales to find cheap furniture. I am always amazed at what people throw away. I wish I could find the person that donated this little table so I could show them what I did to it.

The price tag on this book stand was $6, but I got it for $3. I’m not bragging by any means, in fact I almost didn’t even want to tell you but I thought it was kind of funny. Evidently it’s senior citizens discount day on Wednesdays and everything is half price. LOL! I qualified. What?????
Before
The first thing I did was clean off all the grim and cobwebs with TSP.
After
For the bottom half I painted it with a white chalk paint and let it dry. Then I paint a light blue chalk paint over the white.
Before and After
Once it was dry I distressed the edges. And there you have it, my $3 Thrift Store find. Easy Peasy!
