Before and After: Vintage Blue Bedside Table

Part two of the big weekend project reveal is here.  This bedside table was another antique I picked up a few weeks ago.  The drawer is dovetailed and the solid wood makes it extra sturdy.  It was a lot of work to prime, paint and finish all the nooks and crannies but I think it turned out lovely.  Here's the before for a reminder.


I chose the same turquoise blue I used for the Beachy Blue Accent Table (CIL's Blue Niche) and I added some paper detailing with a cream and blue vintage wallpaper pattern and a pretty glass knob.  The old pull was an odd measurement so I just decided to fill in the double holes and drill one in the middle. 





If you live in the Winnipeg area, it's for sale here.

Okay, now it's time to relax before heading back to work tomorrow!  Enjoy your day friends.

    It turned out so well! I didn't even notice that extra little shelf detail below the drawer in the before picture you emailed me. Hope this one finds a good home soon.
