Trash Picked Table Facelift

We had bulk trash again this month. 4 times a year it's like Christmas in my neighborhood. Everyone puts to the curb their sad and tired furniture. I however, empty my car and start the slow drive through the streets looking for projects. People are very friendly about this too. Recently I stopped to pick up a chair and the woman came out of the garage asking if I wanted a really beautiful ceramic planter (well duh yes!).

Today was a medium warm day with no humidity. I waited until the shade moved to the front of the house then proceeded with my project. I had to scrape off some wood glue that they had used way too much of. After a little sanding, I was ready to roll!

It's a small table that has a latch that allows you to fold the top down to one side. I am sure there is a name for this, but I honestly have no idea what to call it! I taped the metal latch with Frog Tape and started spraying (Rustoleum) . I am pleased with the outcome. I had all the stuff laying around from previous projects, so technically this cost me $0. :)

This is how I found her, sitting by the curb, lost and lonely

All sprayed up with some temporary decor to keep her company!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed the mini project.
