Side Table Painted Yellow

Table Before
I'm always on the lookout for small tables. I find them to be universal and highly desirable, so when I came across this small cherry table at an estate sale, I knew I found a treasure. I overlooked its shabby facade and saw the potential beauty underneath. I especially liked the "webbed" shelving, which I thought was a great design feature. That it had a shallow drawer made it even more appealing, so I snatched it before someone else discovered it hidden in hidden in a corner of a bedroom.

All in all, it was in great shape, but the wood was not in the best condition, so I hand-sanded it smooth, then painted it a with Sherwin-Williams "Glisten Yellow" to match the dresser I'd recently finished. It proved to be a great color choice, because the soft butter yellow changed this table from shabby to chic. The brushed nickel knob completes this table's transformation...perfect table for a small room.
