"Here is the before"
It was time and weather worn, peeling and just dirty.
"What a sweet little bed table this would make"
So I bought some spray paint. Not any spray paint but the good stuff. This one had a built in primer and it said
"No sanding needed"
That's my kind of spray paint!
I learned from the label under the table it was hand painted in India. I'm sure when new this was quite nice. I chose to leave the information on for future knowledge.
Once I added a little vintage table cloth it looks great!
Perfect shape and size to use on the bed for my laptop.
Or for a cup of tea in the evenings, with a snack.
I added a little vase with flowers from my garden.
Yes, here in Florida the flowers are blooming on this beautiful spring weekend.
What is it they say, "From trash to treasure"
This little table is perfect and is indeed a treasure to me.

That turned out great! I would have been right there with you pulling that from the trash. :-)
It's just as cute as can be and the perfect size! How pretty with a little scarf on it and a jar of Spring flowers!
Your blog is beautiful ... I just pinned this page on Pinterest.
Good save, Sandy!
I think plain white with the little table cloth on top is perfect.
I don't sit on the bed much for tea or blog hopping. Maybe it's because I don't have the right little table!

Wonderful transformation, I love it! I can see where it will come in handy in so many places. Good for you!
It never ceases to amaze me at the great stuff people throw away, or at least great with a little work. I love how it looks now, no matter how it was made.
This turned out great! Love what a little spray paint can do!

I love your trashy little table! Sometimes you find the best stuff in the trash. It turned out beautiful!
Have a Happy Easter!

I love people who can see the potential in a worn out piece of furniture. I am learning from others to look past the scrapes and nicks and broken parts to the inner beauty.
Today is my first visit having found you featured at Fox Hollow Cottage. I really love your blog title.
I love "doing" and try to teach my students, who come from broken, nicked and scraped backgrounds, to leave the safety of their tattered lives and "do" something.
I want to plant a vegetable garden when I retire and have the time to work it. We don't have the crazy rain, but I am not sure I am up for the hard work or the disappointment. Maybe I will start small.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and get to work in your garden.
