Remake, Redo, Reborn.......

While reading some of my favorite blogs, I came across a side table redo.

Sissy of Sissies Shabby Cottage had purchased a nightstand from the 70's

And repainted it to give it wonderful new life....she even added a sweet little basket

For wonderful charm.

Although the project I completed several months ago has a completely

Different look and use than Sissies, it is still the same old 1970's dark wood

Solid wood, heavy, clunky nightstands.

These two were actually mine and were purchased in 1969 to be exact. I took a little different approach to the final project since mine had doors

And no opening at the bottom.

By removing the bunn feet on one of the pieces,

It could easily be permanently attached to the top

Of the second table making a chest .

There are actually drawers inside for storage.

It was given a rubbed French finish of sorts so it didn't look like what it actually is.

And that is two side tables on top of each other :)

These are also fun to make when you remove the wooden panels inside the doors

And use chicken wire in their place......

Just another version of what to do with these cast off pieces....

And with a minimal amount of work....I like that.
