On a trip back home to see my family, I found these side tables in a small town, knowing that they could be restored to find their beauty!


These tables are AVAILABLE for purchase in the Vancouver area! Please contact me via Instagram Or though my website!


Im trying to be more of a plant person! So I felt these were the perfect pieces to feature some plant babies 🌱

BEFORE

Before sanding

Sanded


I wasn’t sure what lay beneath the original stain, I was hoping to return stain all of it, but under a few spots was particle board covered veneer, so the parts I ended up painting white we’re not able to be stained.

Stain legs


I used minwax provincial stain on the legs!

Tape off legs and prime


I taped off the legs once they were dry so when I went to prime the tops I didn’t get paint or primer on my stained legs!

Paint


After I primed I painted the tops! I used Canadian tire’s premier furniture paint X3 coats.

Remove tape


After the paint dried I removed the tape! And then top coated everything with varathane’s satin water-based top coat.

COMPLETED & Staged


These were a blast to stage! I absolutely love how they turned out!

These tables have endless possibilities of what they could be used for! But I do love them for plants ;)

Both of these items are from the dollarstore! Who says decor has to be pricey.
