Yard sale treasures

A few weeks ago my family and I went to a few yard sales and found this adorable little table.

Sorry for the blurry photo!

It needed some love: The feet had water damage and it needed to be painted! It was so plain.

I wish I took some more photos of the feet because a few of them were falling apart and needed some wood filler.

I needed to fill the feet with "plastic wood".

I first had to clean with a damp cloth and make sure it was completely dry before I started.

I used a flexible putty knife and just filled the bottom of each foot.

Don't worry if it looks bad because in 24 hours when it's completely dry you'll sand it down to look like a normal foot again.

This part is super important if you want your table or whatever piece to take the pain/stain the why you want.

I just used a medium sanding sheet and sanded all parts of my table.

I had a pretty specific vision for my flower. I wanted a colored stain for the top and a rich brown stand for the bottom.

These are the two I decided on.

Using a finishing protective spray is smart so that your product is not easily damaged...

I am not smart so I didn't do this to the table...yet. I do plan on it though.

Heres my finished product! She's so cute. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!

I sure this isn't the best way to do a project like this and certainly not the only way but I'm super proud of it! Hope everyone enjoyed!
