Then my sister, being the clever gal that she is, stumbled on an idea from Pinterest to repurpose a cabinet into a storage table,
Supplies:
- Chalk paint (Americana Decor - Primitive. Purchased @ Sutherlands $7.99)
- 4 table legs ($2.48/ea @ Lowe's)
- 4 table leg angle top plates ($1.98/ea @ Lowe's)
- 3 - 1"x6"x4' whitewood boards ($1.88/ea @ Lowe's)
- Minwax stain (dark walnut - didn't spend any on this, had from a previous project)
After wiping down the cabinet, I filled all the existing holes with woodfiller and attached the new legs.
Then I cut the top boards down to size, my cabinet is 30"x12".
After cutting the 3 boards I used a router to make them look a bit more finished. I attached them using staples, which I put in on the under side so you couldn't see them. I also sanded the top.
I decided to stain the top first just in case I got messy....I know myself way too well.
Here's the paint I used.
Almost done with my first coat.
2 coats down, and I'm going to seal it with a clear wax.
Well, it didn't fit next to the bed. I was going to use this in place of the two night stands I have but it just didn't work out. So here she is...
And the before and after...
