Meet Madeline, the side table

Why, OH WHY, do I continue to forget to take before shots?  It's a shame.  I wanted you to see how I transformed this boring, greyish, you-stick-in-the-corner-of-a-room-and-pile-it-with-loads-of-crap side table.  All I've got is the after to share with you.

So, I covered this little lady in a dark brown Valspar Ultra paint and primer.  Next, I thought I would try some Williamsburg Buttermilk Paint, in Fancy Chair Yellow.  After some distressing, I then glazed with General Finishes Van Dyke Brown.  Finished it off with furniture wax.

I decided to keep the original hardware and just paint over it.

 Updated the inside drawer by coating with the dark brown paint/primer.

 I think she's pulled herself quite nicely out of the corner and belongs in the spotlight.

If you would like her in your home, you can find her in my shop.  Thanks for looking!
