I am so convinced that it just isn't necessary to spend a fortune to furnish your home with eye catching, timeless, stunning furniture and accessories. Take for example, this coffee table. It is solid, has great storage and is a great shape. I will tell you later what I paid for it but trust me, it was a bargain! Yes, those are Kerri Shipp originals in the backgound.

AFTER (Below)
Some nice distressing after a first coat of primer and then dry brushing with a grey/brown water based enamel.

I love how it fits into my decor so I guess it's just giong to have to stay :o)
.
So how much you ask? Fourteen whole dollars and that includes four dollars of fees so I actually tendered $10 for it!!! Someone must have been really desperate to see the back of it.

No wonder they wanted to get rid of it, it sure was one U.G.L.EEE piece before you worked your magic!

I totally agree! The best stuff is found in the dirty corners of the bargain basement. Please do tell us what you paid for it. I love the dry brushing you did. I'll have to get extensive details from you if I ever attempt it. xo
This is a great example of what a good paint job can do, and at $10? Get out! You've chosen a great colour here. It fits in perfectly in it's new home. So does this mean your refectory coffee table in mesh has been cast out?! :)
Oh so gorgeous ange, well done xx
wow Ange am absolutely loving that room and the table...just everything. we must catch up when school is back, i am still working thru the holidays but drop me a line. Mel xx

That looks amazing, what a bargain at $10! I'm sure the storage space with those draws will come in really useful too - Melissa x
Oh My yes I keep telling people that you don't have to spend a fortune to decorate your home. $10? Excellent deal!!

I too am a huge believer in the fact that you don't have to spend a huge amount to have a gorgeous home. This is a great transformation! Love your blog, now following! Miss Walker xoxo
That looks great Ange, I am about to paint my buffet I bought on ebay but am having trouble deciding on a finish. This gives me good inspiration.

So glad I found your lovely blog! You have an incredible eye for seeing how beautiful a piece can really be!
It looks fabulous - i read your post and without thinking looked around my living room to see what i could paint!!!
Love this finish!! This is one of my favorite finishes lately..so pretty and with the blue and white..looks fabulous...you had such a keen eye to see the possibilities..fabulous!! Happy Easter!!
That looks amazing Ange! I expect the owners may change their minds if they saw what you have done with the table!! Your lamps look so lovely too in the background. (also meant to wish you a happy birthday after you mentioned that you shared your special day with my son! - hope you had a lovely day!) Happy easter too!
