before & after

I found this smoking stand in my grandma's basement. I thought there was something cool about it so when she said I could have it, I knew I had to give it a new life.


drumroll, please....


It's the perfect little stand for holding Lily's leash right inside the front door. It actually had a drawer with it, but it worked better for us without it. Of course I kept it just in case. I found the little monogram plate at Christmas Tree for $1 or something like that. LOVE it. It's amazing what a few coats of paint can do.

Happy Sunday!

    That is too funny, Patti. A woman after my own heart. How did you do the harlequin design? Did you use tape or are you just a master?

    Now if she were a bigger dog I would have used it as a water bowl station!

    I think you need to add this to the thrift parties as well.

    Thanks, Monica! That little table makes me happy every time I look at it. There's something about saving furniture from a basement or attic that's heartwarming!
