  • Side Table Makeover

    After a well needed break over the Holidays away from my paint brushes and old pieces of furniture, hubby and I took another successful trip to the auctions. I was able to snatch a few pieces for a great deal. I saw this little lonely side/end table and knew exactly what I wanted to do…

The piece originally was very nice but outdated. On a whim, I picked out the Martha Stewart vintage decor paint to try out. It was also on…
