Drawer coffee table....

Hi Everyone!  Today is day two of the fair, it's been good so far and I'll share more about it tomorrow, but today I thought I'd show you one of the "new" items I made.  Earlier this year I was lucky enough to receive these antique drawers (you can read about them here).  I made a coffee table on wheels with one of the large drawers and it's one of my most favorite builds which you can read about here.
 I took the middle size drawer and created this coffee table or side table.
 I'm really happy with the way this turned out.
  I built a base with 2x4"s and then added large bun feet and casters...
 I added a split top to it...
 ...with a piano hinge.  I painted the interior Wildflower blue...
...and the outside with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White.  Then I sanded it, waxed and buffed it.

I took it with me to the fair and have received a lot of compliments on it but it hasn't sold yet.....maybe today.  If it doesn't sell, I'm okay with it because I will be taking it to the fair next month.  Well, now I have to get ready to hit the road for day two of the fair.  I hope your weekend is going well.  Thanks for stopping by!

  1. It's such a lovely coffe table.
    I can't believe it's still unsold. It also offer storage and the inside color is really nice.
    Have a good fair :-)

  4. I love the pop of blue inside the table. I hope it sold. If not, maybe you could hand-paint something beautiful on top of it?

  5. Clever, and I'm wondering in my mind if a great big one with drawers all the way around could be made for a coffee table. My mind is altering the alteration.

  6. For a different look, can you make the legs a little longer and paint a damask stencil on the lid in the matching cornflower blue? Or add some rolled burlap roses on the stationary part of the lid. It is adorable. Good luck. I hope that it sells! I have a few large drawers just waiting for me to decorate. You've given me inspiration!! :)

  7. Ooh. Or The Springtime in Paris stencil. That seems to be the rage today! I'll bet it sells soon with that on it (distressed a bit of course!). Xoxo
