The last post with the dog bed end table turned out too long I thought, so decided to keep this table for another day. It's not nearly as exciting as the dog bed one, but it's sitting at the other end of my love seat and I think I'm gonna love it.
While it's all wood, it does have laminate, so that presented a whole other challenge. I'm just hoping my paint stays on. It was really scratched and banged up, but has two drawers.
Actually found this one first when I was looking for the dog bed table. Bought it thinking if I couldn't find the one I wanted, I could remove the large drawer in the bottom and use it as the dog bed.
Then found the one I really wanted and decided this one would work great at the other end of the love seat. The drawers are going to be a real bonus - I've already eliminated a lot of the clutter I had on top of my old end tables. Found it at an antique store and here's how it looked.
So, like the other one - sanded (though laminate doesn't sand well). Two coats of primer, cured for 7 days, 3 coats of yellow paint, 3 coats of Minwax polycrylic, cured another 24 hours, new drawer pulls, and 'walla'...
So, here they are together...
You can see, the cats think the love seat belongs to them.
The coffee table is in the works, had it's first coat of paint on the legs today... it'll be ready soon (I hope).
