Gossip Table Transformed

Our neighbor has once again given us a great project to work on.  He was responsible for the iron piece in our pallet table.  Now the other day he saw us outside and asked if we wanted his grandmother's table. Apparently this table sat in her dining room for quite some time, and then had been in his basement for a number of years.  The pictures were taken with my phone so they are a little dark.  It was essentially a dark yellow table before.

 The best part of this table is that it is a telephone table and the chair pulls out. How cute is this?  

Rob stripped and sanded down all the old paint that was chipping, and then wiped it down with some mineral spirits.  

We wanted to put this in a room that already has gray colored furniture, so we were able to reuse paint we already had.  This saved some money, and it turned out great. The color is by Valspar and the name is Woodlawn Colonial Gray. Here is the chair seat painted after the first coat.

Rob gave the top of the table at coat of stain, and painted the legs of it to match the chair section.  It took several coats of paint and a lot of hand sanding it between to get good coverage over the dark wood.

This entire project was free because we used a free table and leftover paint & stain. Here is the final product:

 It can even be a laptop desk instead of telephone table now. 

Or you can leave it put together and have it as an occasional table or night stand.

It's going to go perfectly in the room near this cute table I snagged at the Tag Sale done by Elizabeth and Co. the other day. This was the table I got at their sale:

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your evening.
