reading-feeding side table.
This little side table has been on my to-do list FOREVER. I bought it eons ago at a vintage shop and it starred in Miss Pippy's nursery as a dark-stained, slightly worn sturdy little table.
Enter little boy. Mid pregnancy I decided to jazz it up to a cheery yellow, but was never thrilled with the color. Baby bottle rings wreaked havoc on the paint, giving more reason to rehab. After a light sanding (love you Billy Webb!), a touch of primer (love you Billy Webb!), two coats of in-your-face-yellow and a topping of polyurethane - I completed the makeover last week.
I LOVE the new look!
Awesome work! The first time I learned about rehabbing furniture or refurnishing things is when I visited http://www.innovationliving.com.au/ they really have tons of ideas on how to work with furniture, it really helped me a lot. And I think you guys should take a look.

Thanks for visiting everyone!
I did brush the paint, which is high gloss with a topping of gloss polyurethane. The brush strokes are there, faintly!, the poly finish really helps mask them.
The little sparkling lamp is an Anthro purchase from years ago, for my daughter's nursery.
Keep in touch for future posts, I'm almost done with the revival of his room. And, remember, like black, color looks good on anything and everywhere!!

Wonderful redo. Not usually a fan of bright yellow, but it really works in the room.
