My first furniture project

A few weeks ago, I went down to Corinth to stay with Camie for the weekend.  Each year in April, we go to the neighborhood garage sales in a neighborhood not too far from her house.  There's a ton of houses that participate and we always find good stuff!  Plus, it's alot of fun to garage sale with the girls (minus kids... haha)!

Here is my favorite find from this year.  Camie is always redoing furniture and I told her that I want to give it a try, but I'm scared I'll jack it up.  She said, "you need to find a cheap piece to experiment with!" 

So, find I did... this little beauty... for only $10!!!



There was a Broyhill tag in the inside of the drawer, so I knew it was solid wood.  Makes it an even better deal!



The previous owner was not very nice to this sweet little table.  Check out those scratches!

And AFTER!



I love how it turned out.  I sanded every surface down and then spray painted it with 2 cans of  Valspar Satin black spray paint from Lowes.  I then added a cute little knob that I found at Hobby Lobby.  I think I might do one more coat on it b/c I can see a few areas that aren't as smooth as I would like it.  I might also go back and put a clear coat on it.  But, I wanted to show it off first!  When we moved into our new house, I knew this wall needed something and I love the way it looks now.

Next project.... my dining room table and china hutch.  They were hand me downs from David's parents and are a nice oak color.  I really want to do them black like these, but have to get the courage up first.  haha  I'll definitely post pictures of the before and after when I do it!
