Today’s post feels kind of funny and nostalgic. One that takes me back to the beginning of this blog. You see one of the very first blog posts I ever wrote was about giving this console table a makeover. 🙂
We had just moved into this house, and I was so excited to find a console table at a thrift store for (I think) $25. I sanded and painted the wood. I even spray-painted the pulls and reused them.
And it was cute! I still love this console table, but recently I moved it to a new spot. We’ve never had a table behind our couch before, and I instantly loved it here. I like not having to look at the back of our couch, and I love having another place to stick the TV remote, or my cell phone, or my glass of wine. 😉
(This is what Saturday morning at our house looks like. HGTV on (Flea Market Flip) and Miss L. busy doing something…)
With the table in a new spot, I decided to make it over. Again. This time it was a much less time-consuming process. I simply sanded the table to give it a more rustic look then before and switched out the hardware to match the new hardware in the kitchen. I wanted it to flow nicely with the rest of the house, and I think this hardware is a much better fit.
It’s kind of funny how a few simple changes can give this table new life, and a whole different look to our living room.
This hardware is from Hickory Hardware, and I found it at Menards. As I mentioned above, it is the same hardware I chose to use in our recent Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Makeover.
Last weekend I took down all of the remaining “winter-ish” decor and started decorating for spring…
Putting away the winter things and pulling out some springy items really has me in a good mood! It means that we’re almost through another long, cold winter!
Thanks goodness!
🙂
Have a great day!
Love the new look! You’re right, such a quick and simple change, yet makes a huge difference. Softened it and made it look like it belonged. I really need to know where you got (or how you made) the nest pillow under the table and the throw beside the table. Can you share your source? Thank you!!? Thank
Thank you Debbi! The nest pillow is a product made from a watercolor by one of my favorite bloggers, Lucy, from Craftberry Bush. She sells all of her water color products on Society 6, see the link here: https://society6.com/craftberrybush/pillows?show=new
The throw is from Marshall’s. 😉
Love the look! Where did you purchase the basket that the pillow is in, if you don’t mind me asking.
Thank you, Stephanie! The basket is from Hobby Lobby. 🙂
Hello, April, my name is Ginene and I stopped over from the Cozy Little House blog. I couldn’t leave with out telling you that you did a great job on completely changing the sofa table. It is darling and changing the Chippendale handles to bin pulls really changes the entire tone. Great job!
Ginene
Thank you so much, Ginene for your sweet words! I hope you’ll be back often! 🙂
