Ugly!
But, that's ok because now....
I first sanded it, then painted it with Walmart brand paint. The color is called "Slate." I was going to put on a third coat of paint
but I liked the way the brown was coming through. I then decided to give it some serious shabbing-up. I sanded it again and put emphasis on the leg edges and the top.
I think it looks pretty good, how about you?
I adore this fabulous pink silk fabric and I think it just screams, "I want to be covered with ruffles and rosettes!"
This lovely is in my Etsy Shop.

I like the table it has great bones and your paint job made it special.
The pink pillows are just dreamie.
Hi Sissie! Love the redo you did on that poor little table :) Turned out just fabulous. Love the pink pillow too...But then I LOVE almost anything pink. Besides being a confirmed chocoholic, I am also a pinkaholic, and a roseaholic...LOL :)
Wow, you really did a fabulous job on that little $5 table! I love it! :-)
Have a wonderful Friday!

The table turned out great, Sissie! Love that you sanded it more after painting ~ pretty little side table now. Yes, I could hear that pillow screaming for ruffles and rosettes all the way here on Long Island! : ) Glad you answered!
I stopped today at three thrifts looking for just that $5.00 table you picked up!!!!!!
I need a smaller table for a coffee table in the center of my living room...
I had this little table pictured in my mind!!!
Love the legs
Great re-do!
I'll start G-sailing soon...(after the snow stops! Ugh!

She's a beauty for sure! Great job, I love working on pieces this size as they are so finishable (if that's even a word)! You know, actually start and finish the project in a reasonable amount of time!!

What a beautiful table and pillow! I have a question, what kind of paint do you use to paint furinture. I have a coffee table I want to antique and have NO idea what kind of paint to use?!
Thanks,
Amy
Your newly shabbified table is fantabulous! I too am interested in what kind of paint you use. And the pillow... well dear you have the golden touch when it comes to pink and ruffles! :-) It's so lovely!
Love how your table came out, and your pink ruffled pillow is beautiful!!... Oh, I can't wait to start yard/estate-saling again!! The weather's definitely warmed up enough for them now, so I can start checking the classifieds for where they're at!.. I'm excited! ~tina

ps...So did you decide what kind of tiara you want...gold, silver, white? All with bling??? :)
I think the finish on that table is just perfect, love the touches of brown showing through. the pink cushion ~ divine!!

I tip my hat to your recycling of that table! You had a vision and it was realized. Beautiful!!
Visiting your blog always makes me smile. I love that table it is fabulous. You pink pillow is too too cute.
What a lucky little table to be adopted by you and beautified! Doesn't even look like the same one and definitely worth more than $5 now! The pillow is gorgeous.

Yow-za! That pillow is to die for, Sissie! & that table is lovely! Love your re-creation of the table, who would've known .....
Have a lovely weekend.

Love what you accomplished with the table! Bee-u-tiful! And the pillow..OMG it's gorgeous! Sissie, you simply have the Midas Touch! I love visiting your place! You inspire me to want to do more with my home. My style is country-farmhouse. Rooster Reds, plaids and checks. After my visits here, I always want to redecorate.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings, Love and Friday Sunshine, Terri
The table has been perfectly transformed! Amazing what some paint can do, along with your great style.

Hi Pillow Queendiva, The pink is so lucious it should be topped with a Cherry! And your little shabby table is a winner. You go girl. Have a fun and happy weekend, XXMollye

Dear Sissie,
I love your makeover! Wow, $5 is a fabulous price for such a sweet little table. It is truly amazing what paint can do! My sweet hubby is in the process of painting our dark wood furniture white, and the piece he is working on now is turing out beautifully! I love the sweet pink pillow you made. So pretty with the ruffles and rosettes! You are a talented lady!
Have a lovely Friday and weekend!

Hi Sissie, Thank's for stopping by. Im glad you liked the planters. They are kind of hard to find. But I had noticed when we were in S.C. they were quite expensive. Out here in Ca. they are not to high. Between 250.00-600 a each depending on the style. Have a great day...Julian
Love that little table that you shabbied up! And those pink ruffled pillows are TERRIFIC!!
