My obsession
So I found this table at a yard sale last summer and fell in love with the legs on it. I cruised the rest of the junk for sale trying to work up the nerve to ask how much - I hate yard sales where they don't price things. I want to look and leave without haggling, not have to ask a price for every thing I might want. This table was worth asking. When they told me it was $5, I tried hard not to jump over the piles of stuffed animals to give my money. What a deal! Then it wouldn't fit in my car - and they drove it to my house! Awesomeness in spades!
The table with its awful laminate counter top. |
gorgeous detailing on the legs - I couldn't pass this up! |
Sorry it's upside down, but this was on the bottom side of the table top. The Paine Furniture Co. was a famous furniture company started in the mid 1800's. http://www.painespatio.com/index.php?id=2 |
I decided to paint the table white, but first I had to take care of that awful covering - which took some of the top layer of wood from the table when I pulled it off. The bad news was I needed to do a lot more work. The good news was that I had a gift card to Home Depot, and came home with a hand sander. I loooove power tools!
deciding which pages would go where, and which bits of the story were really important to be able to read |
I added the little footprints in keeping with this book, which is where the Marauder's Map is first introduced. <3 |
