    Your revamped side table is beautiful, I love white furniture so this is perfect for “spring”. It’s beautiful, you both did a great job with this! I am sure your grandma knew you would be able to create something beautiful with it and you did! I started laughing in front of my computer when I read this “could have used wood glue …. but I lack the patience it demands 🙂 ” ha!ha! I thought that was funny; I feel the same way!

    • Shayna says:

      Thank you Ingrid! It turned out better than I ever hoped! 🙂 I’m glad I’m not the only one who lacks patience… wood glue is the worst! 😉

    I love your table! I just finished up this very same table, but with a different look. I went natural with a checkerboard top. I took the pictures last night and will be blogging on it next week sometime.

    • Shayna says:

      Thank you Felicia! I’m glad you like it. I bet your table looks terrific too. The checkerboard top sounds fabulous! 🙂

  16. Emily says:

    I love how this turned out! Now I have to keep my eye out for a free/cheap table to make over! 🙂

  17. Lucia says:

    Thank you very much for posting this. It’s a great makeover, and you explain the technique very well. Very inspiring!

    I love your style, I adore working on solid wood furniture, yet they are difficult to come by at decent price. I have found walnut one recently, which was an old telephone table with nice bottom shelf. I have upholstered the shelf with piece of faux black leather, and the whole table has been sanded down (which revealed amazing wear & tear marks). For the top I have decided to go with the native american theme, and sketched the Bull Skull silhouette, which I have later filled with black oil based paint. What do you think:

    • Shayna says:

      THANK YOU so much Maggie! I agree- solid wood pieces are fabulous to work with, but a little difficult to find at a reasonable price…
      You have done an AMAZING job on your telephone table. It’s Perfect with a capital P! 🙂
      Thanks for sharing!

    You and I stumbled across the same blog — When I Saw the paint stick table at thistlewood farms I wanted to do the exact same thing. I’m working on mine now!! Yours turned out BEAUTIFULLY! I was going to stain my whole thing, but you are swaying me to the painting side!

    • Shayna says:

      Hi Jessica! I’m so happy you love my paint stick table top! Great minds think alike, right? 🙂
      Oh…. I’m still lovin’ the two toned look of it too!
