So I'm sure you've guessed. My response was, "Yes!". Now here comes the really awesome part of the story. While out to lunch with my dear friend, Debbie, she mentioned she was on the lookout for a small little side table to put next to her couch. She had just rearranged her family room, and didn't have room for her existing end table by the couch. I got so excited! I asked her about what size she wanted. And she showed me pretty much the exact size of this little table! I pulled out my phone and showed her what I had just gotten the week before from my daughter-in-law. She almost cried at God's perfect provision! It was exactly what she was looking for! Told you it was a great story! Once we discussed what she wanted, I got to work.
So here is the perfect little table I made over for my friend!

First, I used ASCP Old White. It did take two coats to cover. Then I applied clear wax. After that, I did a little distressing with 100 grit sandpaper. I then did a very light touch of dark wax mixed with mineral spirits, and wiped away. Then, one more final coat of clear wax. This was a quick easy transformation!
Debbie was thrilled with her table! I think God loves to give us these little surprises and see us smile.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Blessings!

That table is lovely now! How lucky for your friend that you can do this for her. Can I ask why you mix the wax with mineral spirits? ~ Maureen
What a lovely post. Isn't it great when you receive a blessing and able to share it and make it someone else's blessing also. : ) I'm your new follower and would love if you could follow back and link this cutie to my Frugal Treasures Tuesday party going on through Sunday night.
It was meant to be! It turned out wonderful.
In answer to your question, yes I am still in the Asheville/Hendersonville area. I would love to meet you too if you have time. We actually are heading to Naples, Fl in a few weeks, so hopefully our dates will work out.

You do realize, your daughter in law is going to want that back right LOL. Love it, what a great piece. Thanks for sharing.
I love what you did to the table! I think Debbie is right, your DIL is going to wish she'd kept it. ;) But I'm so glad that your friend was on the receiving end of God's provision. This is an encouraging reminder that God cares about the little things and gives us the desires of our heart. Thanks for reminding us of that at Show & Tell.

I've popped over from Penny's.
That little table is exactly like the bedside table from my parents' bedroom suite. I love what you've done with it - what a lovely bit of serendipity that was!
So glad you rescued that beauty...all it needed was you TLC. The shabby cottage looks great on this piece. Great job!
Cute table and what great timing.
Yes! I am so glad you didn't let that table go to the curb! It looks lovely!
