Isn’t she pretty? She’s real wood, and besides some scratches on her drawer, she was really in perfect condition. But I had higher hopes for her! I would not just let her remain plain and ordinary, but I wanted her to really strut her stuff!
Just so you understand why I ended up with the final product, I wanted to let you know about a great link I was reading on the Nesting Place blog about slowly making over your space on a budget. JUST what I needed to read! I found some inspirational pictures online, and I decided that I wanted my living room colors to be creams, dark brown wood, and sage green. Here’s some pictures that might help with the color scheme I’m leaning towards:

So I decided that this little table would serve as my “inspiration color” table. I wanted to somehow incorporate all of my desired living room colors into this little table.
I then got a little more daring than usual. I took out the drawer, measured, and cut some very cute scrapbook paper. I then mod-podged it onto the face of the drawer
Ah-HA! Sage green! I then mixed some clear glaze with some white paint, and gave the whole table a coat to make it more uniform. Once that dried, I added some hardware from Lowes…and here she is in all of her glory!
She’s soooo showing off her legs in these photos 
Don’t you love them?!
I really love the muted sage green details…
I just wanted to show her off right away, so it’s nighttime, and I don’t have good lighting, but I don’t care! I’ll make sure to show her off again once I figure out a nice pretty arrangement for her top, and it’s in the middle of the day 
Before I go, I just wanted to thank you all for your sweet comments! I seriously get SO excited when I see that I have another comment…they truly make my day! Hope you all had a great Monday
