I love to renovate old furniture. So, when I found this tiny table in it’s blue and white sponge paint glory-I knew I was about to begin another great project. I got to work stripping off the many layers of paint and was amazed at the intricate details that had been completely hidden by the previous paint job! I spent a lot of time carefully chipping paint, but in the end it paid off. I finished the project with a few coats of silver paint and new knobs from Anthropologie. My newly renovated piece now lives on the landing on my second floor and is a great spot for fresh flowers.

Next time you’re in need of a new piece of furniture, consider checking out yard sales and scouring local antique shops for something you can customize yourself. It can be as easy as a fresh coat of paint or new hardware…and you’re sure to get a lot of bang for your buck.
