Shabby Chic Bedside Table

Shabby chic is popular at the moment and although I don't like the look, it seems people will pay a premium for stuff that looks, well.. old!

I bought this bedside table for $1.75 off ebay about 12 months ago. I didn't actually need it, but it's hard to pass up a piece of furniture at that price (even if it is UGLY!) I'd already started sanding the top drawer before I took the pic.


A lot of sanding and painting later, it came out like this...



I still think it's ugly, but so long as someone buys it for more than $1.75 I'll be happy ;)



I repainted the existing handles and then scrubbed them with steel wool.

Total Cost: Table $1.75 Sand paper $1.50 Paint $3ish = $6.25
It sold on ebay for $15.50... nothing to write home about, I'll chalk this one up to experience too
