With all the major projects I have lined up, I needed something small to finish to give me some motivation that I can do them!
I found this little guy at Value Village.I'm new here and this was my first time in the store.
But it was all familiar :)
I got this for $6!
This legs were so wobbly and look at that paint job.
But I knew the potential.
So I took it home, sanded it down a bit, tightened the legs and gave it some good old spray paint, Ocean Breeze color.
Then I distressed it with some sand paper.
Taa-Daaa!
It's not going to stay out on the porch...but it does look nice there too.
I just needed it air out a bit.

After everything, this little guy only cost me $15. not bad!
I have the perfect place for it inside by the entry/coat closet :)

WOW! i love it. :) fantastic new color!
I have not seen one of those in a very long time. Almost everyone had some version or a built in niche for the phone. I am sure it will enjoy its new life with you! Very cute!
I think it turned out perfect. I just redid a dresser but need to pick up knobs for it, very similiar color. What did you rub it with to get the black on it?
Ellie-
I ended up rubbing anything on it. It is from the black paint underneath. I didn't sand it off, but just left it on. So when I distressed it, it showed through. It turned out to be quite nice!
But I know you can get the same look with glaze.
Cute! love the color :)
