We wanted a small table to place between all of our plants in the front window to break up the series of plant stands. It seemed like fate when we stumbles across this gorgeous little stained dark wood end table in the clearance section of Target. There was one problem though, it was sitting in the clearance section but it didn't have a clearance price sticker on it... or any damage. We saw an employee walking around and asked her what the deal was with it, she was REALLY nice and she understood our issue ;) so she ever so kindly peeled off the sticker on another clearance item and placed it onto our end table. She then told us if there was any question at the register just to have the cashier page her and she would call and confirm the price. Needless to say, this table was WAY cheaper than it should have been. Yay! Anyway, we took the table home and it looked nice among the colorful flowers and green of the plants but it didn't quite match. That is where my craft idea comes in! I decided to paint the drawer of the table a bright green to tie in with the plants and to make the table a little bit more funky. Now instead of just looking nice, it looks AMAZING!
Here is the How-To!
SUPPLIES:
- Table
- Paint
- Painters Tape
- Screw Driver
- Paint Brush
DIRECTIONS:
1) Take the drawer out that you want to paint.
2) Unscrew the handle and remove it, place it somewhere safe so you don't lose it!
3) Tape off the sides and bottom of the drawer so that you don't get paint all over. Also, you may want to put something in the hole where the handle goes to keep it from filling with paint and causing the handle not to fit.
4) Paint your drawer the color you chose! I did a few coats.
5) Let it dry, put it back together and you're done!
I tried to find our exact end table on Target.com to use in a before photo but I couldn't so sorry about not having a before and after photo!
BUT
I really like how it turned out and it matches really well now!
What do you think? What would you have done differently?
