Re-Purposed Tables

I'm been re-purposing stuff like crazy lately in a feeble attempt to clear out my stash of "Projects waiting to be done."   I am seriously beginning to look like a hoarder.  I'm staying away from estate sales for awhile.  My nail biting increases every time I drive past one and stare longingly out the window.

I picked up a 3 legged table awhile ago.  The top was cracked and peeling so I sanded it down a bit...



It got painted with a coat of gray and a dash of white, with a little black streaked through here and there.

Then it got distressed and waxed....




The other piece was a cute fold down table. I got this one from my friend Moira.....



I wasn't real crazy about the graphics, so I sanded it down....


Everything got painted in aqua blue, and then I dry brushed the top with a little white and gray....



I distressed and waxed the entire piece.   I love the dark blue that shows through on the lower shelf...





I've got both pieces for sale on Craigslist....


I have a hard time letting go of a lot of my pieces.  Does anyone else have that problem??
