Treasures from the Trash: A Round Table

How was your weekend guys? I hope it was both exciting and restful!

I found this in the trash/recycling room of our apartment building:


It's a round end table with heavy legs in brushed nickel.



Except for its dusty surface, it was in good shape.


If only I had room in our apartment, I would have called this piece "mine."

Had I taken it home, here are some ways I would transform this table from "blah to TADA!":

I would paint the legs black and stain the tabletop in a dark shade of brown (and maybe even distress the surface) giving it an industrial vibe.

For a more glamorous look, the legs can be spray-painted gold and the surface can be given a marble look with either paint or removable wallpaper.

Another option is to paint the legs a matte gold or bronze and a mahogany stain on the tabletop. 

Just like in this photo, an end table is just the right size for a small bedroom to hold a lamp and bedside essentials like a glass of water, a book, and a mobile phone.

An end table is ideal in a reading nook -- for all the books you are currently reading.

And finally, an end table can showcase a pretty floral arrangement...TADA!

How about you? How would you change the look of this end table to match your home?

  1. It's a nicely shaped table. We have cool rather than warm colors in our home, so I'd leave the legs silver and paint the top white or maybe do that same marble effect.
