Well, it is too tall to have on my kitchen counter and I have had to move it around looking for "its place" because it really needs a place of its own in order to enable it to provide me with that wonderful nectar of the Gods! That nectar that keeps me from becoming a crazy loonie woman that wants to kill or curl back up in in a ball under the blankets and whine.....
I was back at my fave store - Second Chance Inc. - and found this very nice little table, which was probably a nightstand. It's details interested me and it needed some repairs; which translated too - it was discounted!
There were no distinguishing markings identifying the manufacturer or the age, and the joints were all needing to be re-glued. Large nicks and nail polish on the outside as well as someone leaving cheap stick eyeliner marks in the drawers. It took a little work; glue, sanding, putty and primer! Hey, this is why I do this.... right?
The nice surprise was the drawer pulls - once I Tarnex'd them - they looked better than anything I could have picked up at the hardware store - so I kept them on. The family does not like the fleur du Lis pattern - but they don't drink coffee so they don't count!
And after 2 weeks of labor - one quart and 8 oz of paint from the Depot! I created THIS!
My French revival corner coffee station! Tah Dah!
