Yellow Side Table Before And After

Yellow Side Table Before And After

contributed by The Plum Life

This little side table has been on my to-do list FOREVER. I bought it eons ago at a vintage shop and it starred in Miss Pippy's nursery as a dark-stained, slightly worn sturdy little table.

Enter little boy. Mid pregnancy I decided to jazz it up to a cheery yellow, but was never thrilled with the color. Baby bottle rings wreaked havoc on the paint, giving more reason to rehab. After a light sanding (love you Billy Webb!), a touch of primer (love you Billy Webb!), two coats of in-your-face-yellow and a topping of polyurethane - I completed the makeover last week.

I LOVE the new look!
