End Table Redo

I'm linking this to Shabby Nest's Frugal Friday!
I found this little guy at my new favorite thrift store...

I'm not liking the color, but I'm loooooving the lines

So I sanded him down

Sprayed him with a coat of white spraypaint, just for a base

And then painted him with interior paint in white. (Not pictured)

Then I took these stencils and using a silver/grey (grey,gray?) paint, I made him pretty

I bought a new bauble knob from Lowes and stuck that on there.

And now I cannot get enough of my table!!! I love love love it!! SQUEEE!

Fabric on Canvas

Just a quick and easy idea for old scraps laying around... I took an old canvas I had painted on back in college, some fabric I wasn't going to use for anything and my staple gun and just "reapholstered" if you will, the canvas.

Easy! Make sure you pull and staple really tight so you don't have any wrinkles in the fabric. How cute would these look in some sort of toile print!?!?
