End Table/Coffee Table Shabby Chic Transformations
Shabby Chic End Table
This end table is similar to one I did a few months ago. Made from a portion of an old vanity, this one had only one drawer.
Unlike the other one, I didn’t need to add a backing to the top edge. I did, however, need to replace the side panels. They were just too warped to save. I used the drawer bottoms from a couple of drawers I didn’t need for my dresser/bench project.
The paint used was the same as the headboard peg rack.
It also got the same shabby chic sanding technique.
There wasn’t a handle, and finding one with matching screw holes proved fruitless. I went with a larger handle that had a back plate that would cover the old screw holes.
Shabby Chic Coffee Table
The coffee table was crafted from what I believe to be an old desk. It was rather tall, so I’m not a hundred percent sure of that.
The legs were shortened and everything was tightened up.
The only thing good about the drawers was their fronts, so I removed the box part of the drawers.
The paint treatment was the same as the end table and the peg rack…
…as well as the shabby chic sanding technique.
I then permanently attached the drawers to the drawer slots.
I had each piece priced separately at last weekend’s craft show, but a customer bought all three as a set. Score!
The entire show was a complete success.
Enjoy!
