Jack and Jill of Many Trades

Great find!

2011-01-12T11:17:00.001-08:00

While shopping at a junk store in our town my mother in law found this table and it was white on bottom and oak on top. The store owner sold it to us for $10! I couldn't believe it. So I put about 3 coats of high gloss black on it and it took about a month to really cure good. And BAM! It's beautiful in my foyer.

Antique Table

2011-01-12T11:14:00.000-08:00

Here is an antique table that my parents owned forever and have no idea where they got it from, but it was just a regular brown wood color so I painted it bright red and distressed it (hard to see the distressing in the pic).

Nightstand

2011-01-12T11:10:00.001-08:00

My mom and I found this nightstand for $13 and it was beat up and painted a hideous lime green. So I painted it with leftover green from the buffet that is below this post and added hardware to the front for $3.
