I am a poor girl with expensive taste. I like nice things, but currently I have a Walmart/Target/Ikea budget. But just because something is cheap, doesn't mean it has to look cheap. When money is tight you just have to get creative. And that is exactly what I did with my bedside table...
I found this night stand at a garage sale for 2 dollars. TWO DOLLARS!!! It was a little banged up, but I knew a fresh coat of paint and a little embellishment could take it from drab to fab. Plus who in their right mind would pass this up for only 2 dollars?
I happily loaded my new table into my car and took it home, and that is where the magic began. I started off by painting it white to give it a nice clean look...
Then I cut out a piece of fabric so that it would cover most of the top, leaving about 1/2" of the painted white wood exposed...
I sprayed the back of the fabric with a spray adhesive, and carefully centered the fabric on top of the table and smoothed it flat...
Then I added furniture studs all the way around to cover the edge of the fabric...
I was so delighted with the finished product! It has a clean, sophisticated look, and all in all it cost me about $17!! You cannot beat a price like that!! hope you enjoyed this transformation!
Do you have a trash to treasure transformation? Share it with me!
