For What It's Worth

I finally have one thing completed for the nursery...but remember...no matter how big or small...it's still an accomplishment!

We've had this boring, simple little table since Dan and I have been married which equals eleven years now!  I think we bought it for our telephone to sit on back in the day...

Then it's just followed us from move to move...and room to room...it was in Alex's room last...and almost went to the Goodwill in our cleaning out frenzy...but I decided to hang onto it for the new baby's room.

I've been looking for ideas from Pottery Barn Kids and other similar stores like The Land of Nod {really cute inspiration} and found these little tables selling from $99 to $199...

...so with a couple cans of white spray paint...


...and a shiny little knob...


...although it's not worth $100...I think it was definitely worth saving!
I think it will look cute with a little basket underneath for books or toys...I'm sure I might even have one sitting in the basement!  {I haven't gotten rid of everything...yet!}


The crib and dresser we bought from a sweet friend is white...so I think this will make a nice little accent.

...Now...to get those walls painted...I hope it turns out just as pleasing! {fingers crossed}

  2. Great job Carrie!!! I love how it turned out and it looks just as cute as those other overpriced tables. I think a cute basket is definitely in order. What color are you going to paint the room?
