Stumble It!BEFORE
AFTER
WITHOUT DECORATION
I found this side table near a dumpster and took it home. It was a bit broken and had many water rings on the surface. I sanded it down and pondered what to do with it. If the wood is good I don't usually prefer to paint over it, and the wood was good, but it just didn't call out to be stained. Painting it white was the only thing that felt right.
So I painted, and painted, and varnished, and then glued the little buttons to the rim, then painted some more. After all that I bought car mirrors, and glued them to the table, I felt I needed texture. But I'm still not sure I like it.
I love the "button" elements! I am really into dotted lines in graphic art right now, and I love to see that interpreted into "real life." Great job!

Thank you ;)
I was really unsure about this one, but I definitely will be using the "buttons" on future projects.

This looks fantastic, as I'm working on my own apt (just moved) these are so inspirational. Not to mention we share the same first name -- the table looks lovely.

i'm sorry ...but i would stick to your intuition about not quite knowing whether you like it or not...It is truly a tragic end to a simple and classic table.

Thanks for the kind words Radish, keep in touch!
