I always love picking up finds in the streets that can be transformed with a little TLC. My husband always rolls his eyes and tries to dissuade me when we come upon something awesome. This time he even agreed this little table had potential. It was definitely a little worse for wear (including bubble gum stuck to the bottom!). A little primer and glossy oil paint and it's a perfect little plant stand.
This is what it looked like before....
it's always lovely to see something made over and given a new life in a home. you've done a grand job with the little table...was the chair a similar find?

Oh, we do this too! We find the best furniture next to the dumpster behind our apartment building. I love rescuing things.

Street shopping is the BEST, and your table turned out beautifully.
Thanks for sharing!

It's just as cute as can be and so rewarding when you find it, fix it and use it...make yourself a cute cushion and throw on top when you need extra seating too! Thanks for showing it...

Tomorrow and Thursday Blu Dot furniture is leaving 25 chairs free for the taking (and tracking since they'll be equipped with GPS) in locations all over NYC--what a find!
