(before)
I saw her at a garage sale this weekend. Solid wood, heavy as heck… just a little abused and ignored.
I asked “how much?” and the lady said, “oh I don’t know…. maybe $3”. Ummmmm yeah…. I think I can cough that up.
I ran out of there carrying the end table on my back before she could change her mind!
I was so excited, I finished her the next day. Here she is in all of her new glory:
(after) I brought her into Ava’s room to photo for Craigslist.
Darn it Shauna! It does look stinkin‘ cute and I do want to keep it!!!!!
Keep it? Sell it? Keep it? Sell it? Oh the decisions I gotta make!
Linking up to Boardwalk Bragfest, It’s So Very Cheri, Transformation Thursday, Remodelaholic, Furniture Feature Friday , Under the Table and Dreaming , I Heart Naptime , Made it for Monday, DiY Day and Power of Paint Party.
SO cute!! love teh color you chose. i have done a couple tables like this and they are always perfect for fun colors. i haven’t done a bright pink though and i love it! may have to steal, um borrow, your idea!
Oh it really is so cute. Love the cute pink color. The glass drawer pulls are wonderful too. I would keep it. Hugs, Marty
$3 are you serious – i wanna go shopping where you live! It turned out so good – love the pink!!!
if it were mine, I’d sell it. Because this pink makes me crave delicious pink cupcakes with thick pink frosting and I’d probably end up eating cupcakes everyday! 😀
That would be awfully hard to part with! I LOVE it! I vote KEEP IT!
I vote…keep it!
So cute! I say keep it!
keep it…better hurry before i find some place to put it!!!
That is darling. Perfect in the room too! And $3!!! Can’t beat that!
That’s always the hard part!!! Maybe keep it for a bit then sell it?? I don’t know, it sure looks right at home in her room!! Great job!!
Keep it! It’s adorable.
Oh, my goodness! That’s adorable. I love it.
You should definitely keep it!

Keep it! It is just to cute.
It’s adorable. I say keep it!
Adorable….its so hard when you paint a piece and wanna keep it.
Oh my gosh, that is adorable. And $3 to boot. What a steal!
that has Ava all over it… I’d keep it!
So pretty! Beautiful color. You better keep it! ha ha
I know. Problem isn’t it, but a good problem to have. I say keep it. Craig’s List will always be there.

Oh how pretty! I love the color you chose!
Blessings,

What a find. (Put a crazy high price on it and if it doesn’t sell….oh well.)
I thought you had bought and painted it white! I fell in love with it and then I toppled over in love with it in pink! If you’ve got a space for it, keep the sweetie! If not, move it on out!!
You’re amazing! Have I told you that before?
Keep it! It looks adorable. You can always sell it later. 😉

that is gorgeous, I love the colour of the top photo, is that the true colour? It looks like a lovely melon pink. I have a question, wondering if you could answer it as I am still quite new to all this…if I get a comment on my blog, I always reply to that comment by posting a comment on my own blog. I have a sneaking suspicion that is not the right way to do it…should I just email the commenter directly? thanks for your advice 🙂
I am partial to pink. It is so cute, I’d keep it.
Sooo KEEP that one!! Wishing I lived near by! You would have to report me as a craigs list stalker. Loving all your projects!
$3!!!!! Wow! Don’t you just love finding solid wood pieces to redo? I love it. So perfect for a little girl’s room.
I love it and would have a hard time selling it. We can basically say it was “free”. I’d keep it until you find another great steal that looks just a great!
Keep it! nah, sell it, nah keep it – its a win win situation.
That is sooo cute! Love the colour. It’s go such sweet lines, very feminine!
I love this! And what a perfect pink! For $3, who could pass it up. KEEP IT!!
I found something similar at a thrift store as well! If I had a little girl I would have gone for pink but I went for more of a neutral makeover. Check it out!

Oh, how I love this post! I found two identical endtables at a junk shop — solid wood, $25 for the two of them — and painted mine an aqua blue. They’re the exact table that you have! We could have triplets!
Wanna see?

It is definitely very cute!
Keep it because she can use it for quite awhile.
I just love this transformation! I love that beautiful color of pink!
Very nice!

Very sweet and pretty! Keeper!
She looks so cute in pink! I love finding pieces of furniture for $3.00…less than lunch.
Sell it to me! That would look perfect in my toddler’s room. Over from Stephanie Lynn’s- New Follower! 😀
I wish I found that kind of quality and price at sales around here! Out of curiosity, how much would you ask for it on CL? It’s very adorable – you have quite the dilemma!
Keep it. It looks so cute with the picture of your little one.
Did you spray paint is Sweet Pea by Rustoleum? I have that color to use in an upcoming project and am hopeful after seeing this gorgeous update. Could you let me know how you painted it?

How adorable…I absolutely love it! White is my absolute fave, but you really did something magical on this piece. Please don’t sell on Craigslist! Try something else like…My Blue Sofa
