I have been looking for a table for my front entry since we moved into this house...7 years ago. Until I could find something, I just put a family portrait on the wall and left it like that. But, the space felt empty. And, every Halloween I
especially wished I had a table there to sit the candy bowl on.
I just couldn't find anything that fit all of my qualifications. It had to be inexpensive, fit the space, and be something I liked. I started scoping out local thrift stores for such a table (though I started to be resigned to maybe having a chest of drawers there at one point). Finally, I found it. It was about $40, fit my measurements, and was cute (underneath the iffy paint).
I especially liked the scallops. But I didn't so much like it's 90s paint job, even if the details
were in my favorite colors, yellow and green. It was too fussy, too dated.
So, I took some spray paint to it. I covered it, first, with white primer, and then white glossy spray paint. And here's the after:
I added a big IKEA frame and a beautiful new family portrait, a funky Target Lamp, and I made some "quote boards," which is a post for another time. :)
It really livens up the space. I totally love it.
