My Husband Rocks My Freakin' Socks!!!

Usually my husband is less that thrilled with my thrifting ventures.  He doesn't really enjoy the whole spray  painting on the newly sealed driveway or God forbid in the garage.  I usually drag him to look at my new finds huffing and puffing so when he texted me a picture from an actual thrift store I about lost my lunch.  He actually stopped by a thrift store on his own will, without me there, walked inside and found this amazing low coffee table-ish thing.  What and WHAT! 

Look at those pulls!  



Slight ICK factor on the top


But the drawers are in amazing shape...


and I think it's screaming out loud for a two toned look.  Leave the drawers as is and paint the "shell"  

What do you all think?  
White exterior...
Like this color scheme but just flip flopped

or maybe grey.  


Would love your thoughts?

  1. How fun! I kind of want to see it in a lacquer - like http://www.mrsjonespaintedfinishes.com/journal/before-and-after/raspberry-red-cocktail-table/

    But whatever you do will be great!

  6. I wish I'd found it first : ) Your husband has a great eye! I'd go all white lacquer. That hardware on white would be just amazing.

  7. I might have purchased it for the pulls alone (depending on the price, of course). I recently priced that style pull new and it was outrageous! Looking forward to your color choice and reveal.

  9. Those handles are KILLER. I think I'd pass out if my husband sent me a text from a thrift store AND was actually encouraging me to buy something. Doubly stunned.

  10. Oooo, a bright lacquer (or even a dark one) would be fab! Love this piece...and I am totally coveting the campaign piece behind it. Must. Do. More. Thrifting.
