Well before we get to the main point of this story, let’s start with the sad beginning. I promise it has a happy ending.
This was the end table on my husband’s side of our bed. Pretty sad end table. I believe we got this sucker at Wal-Mart a couple of years ago. (Please disregard those legs and that dirty mirror caused by little fingers)
Now let’s just try to forget this picture ever existed. Believe it or not, I was browsing Craigslist one day. Me on Craigslist, who would have thought? Anyway, when I came across this lovely end table.
I’m going to skip the boring parts on this one. So after some primer, paint and new hardware.
We now have this.
See I told you it would be a happy ending!
