Dumpster Divin'

My soon to be sister-in-law did some serious dumpster diving (I was so proud!) and found some great tables that needed a little lovin'.  She wanted something a little shabby chic so here is my quick before and after.  They are still in my garage so this will be her first look at the finished product too!  Hope you like them Sloan!

Before

After

She thinks these were stools but will use them as bedside tables!  Love that idea!  I used Heirloom White spray paint by Rustoleum then distressed them.


Here is her second dumpster dive find. 

And the After

The paint color is Behr Opal Silk (I just got a sample size since I didn't need much)

Since the before was pretty beat up from its time in the dumpter ;) I ended up distressing it too.

I used water based poly on both to give them some extra protection.  The poly aslo makes the distressed parts shiny, pretty and the wood a little darker.

 

You guys, seriously, look at my garage!  It is such a disaster!  Does anyone else get mad dust when they spray paint?  Am I doing something wrong!?!  Perhaps I need to take it outside.  You know you have an issue when all your husband wanted for Father's Day was for me to clean up the garage.  Which did happen and lasted all of 2 days!  He's a Saint!
