Console Table to Sofa Table

As most of you know, I've been spending most of my kid-free time over at the Mitchell house trying to get Grandma's living room done before her home-coming next week. I finally finished today, and the room turned out beautiful. I can't wait to share all of the "after" shots with you. But, for today, I'm sharing just one little tidbit of the room.

I have a thing for sofa tables these days. I love the look of a sofa in the middle of a room, anchored with a sofa table at it's back. A sofa table gives you an opportunity to display decorative items, add lighting in the middle of a room, and create an open concept living space. BUT, they are hard to come by. Especially, in my upcycling world. I searched high and low for a new sofa table for Grandma Mitchell's space, but couldn't find one. I found a few new ones, but at $500-$800 a piece, forget it. That's not the way I roll.

I was leaving the room after a long day of reupholstering (the day I staple-gunned my hand. fun.), and long behold, I see this....

How had I walked passed this beauty so many times??? I instantly asked if I could swipe it and paint it, and happily, I was granted permission. But really, of course I was! Look at what I did to it!

This is my most favourite piece in the room.  It turned out beautiful.  Hope to post the rest of the space this week! Stay tuned!

P.S.  Like my new site?!?!?  All my new pages will be up and running soon.... xo
