I’m sure you all remember this table!
This sofa console table is the first project I made from half of that table (pictured above).
This repurposed crib table is another project I made using the other half (drop down section).
This is the part that was left. I sanded the finish off the top like I did on the other 2 projects. I removed the hardware that was meant to hold the drop down part in place. I used some spray paint primer on the entire thing. I then used some cheapo black spray paint, and then topped it off with some Rustoleum semi-gloss spray paint.
I also wire brushed the metal claw feet and spray painted them.
I love the look of a beautiful black table, I just don’t like dusting them.
I would love to keep this table, but I have no place to put it. 🙁 In this picture it is sitting to the right of my media center, just so I could take a picture of it. It is of course just leaning against the wall. In it’s permanent home it will have to be set on or screwed to a cleat on the wall.
So, here’s the big question… do you have a favorite? Of the three tables I was able to make from that one wonky table?

April 23, 2010 at 4:00 amOh wow! That you made three BEAUTIFUL tables out of one old beat-up is increadible! Wow wow wow.
It’s hard to pick a fav, I’d take them all! I think, though, that the turquoise table is the one I’d pick if I had to choose. It’s lovely!
Kudos to you for making them all so beautiful!

April 22, 2010 at 11:05 pmWow, I’m picking my jaw up off the floor, you just amaze me! I love the green and the black one equally! I can’t believe what you got out of that one table!
I just want to follow you around…and get ideas.

April 22, 2010 at 2:05 amI do love them all but I like the third one the best. I have an affinity for pedestals lately. And that one is just so dainty. And I do LOVES me some black.

April 21, 2010 at 5:28 pmGail thanks so much for following my blog and leaving a comment! I am so flattered! I am starting up another one that is just about projects and such, that way our family blog doesn’t get taken over by my hobbies! We are so excited to head to Nashville, I’m glad your daughter likes it so much!

April 21, 2010 at 1:35 pmYou always have such great vision and execution. You are very inspiring. I love all of the tables. Time for me to head to Craigslist and see what I can find.

April 21, 2010 at 1:29 pmwow, 3 tables from one! That is crazy! {in a good way} and they all look so awesome too! My fav is the blue one, but that black table is a close 2nd!
Suzanne says
April 21, 2010 at 12:53 pmThat’s a really difficult question. I really love them all. Seriously! But, if I had to choose one, I would pick the last one in black. Just gorgeous!

April 21, 2010 at 11:43 amStill can’t believe you got all that goodness from one table, I mean – WOW!
My faves, in order:
1. The turquoise with the crib spindles, of course! I’m obsessed with that table!
2. Love the black one, I would love it, and hug it, dust it every day, and call it George.
3. I just adore the treatment that you did to the base on this one, what an eye catcher!
Oh, that was fun! 😉
Kelly Howard says
April 21, 2010 at 11:30 amHoney, you are amazing! I love all three! I couldn’t pick if I had to! Well, except maybe I’d pick you for my neighbor!!! 😉

April 21, 2010 at 11:27 amBlack is my absolute favorite color on furniture…..but after having several pieces in my house I hate owning it. Like you I hate dusting it. I never have been a aqua/turquoise kind of person but I had to wipe away the drool on this one! I think I have been converted. I must paint something this color!!!!!!
Rose says
April 21, 2010 at 9:06 amThey are ALL great, but if you were going to let me pick one for myself (hint) 😉 …..I would choose the crib leg table, it’s so cute!
PS. do you need my address it ship it?
lol

April 21, 2010 at 7:19 amI bought a table like this one ages ago during the building process of our current home with the intent of doing just what you did in the second photo for our main entry. Never happened. It’s still waiting in the corner of our basement/woodwork shop to be re-purposed. So many projects, so little time. I do enjoy your projects. In fact so much so that I want to be you when I grow up. ;^) Really I do get things done, just not blogged them yet! I’m getting closer though. You are certainly an inspiration. Thanks. ~Becky <><
