When this drum table was advertised on Craigslist at a reasonable price, I jumped at it. My son and I drove to a small house that turned out to be the filthiest house that I have ever been inside – and trust me, I have been in many filthy houses hunting for treasure! It stank of smoke, the carpet was stained beyond recognition, there was a large menacing dog barking at us from somewhere within the depths of the hovel, and a woman who was likely my age but looked 80 was there to show me the table. I paid her the cash, grabbed the table and quickly escaped.
Amazingly, the table is lovely! Well worth the adventure, too. I really ♥ drum tables. The round shape accommodates any space in a room which makes them so versatile. They exude character and the details and legs are lovely. Here is my favorite find “before” with Lucky photo bombing.
I mixed Annie Sloan’s Louis Blue and Chateau Grey and then added a topcoat of French Linen. After waxing in Maison Blanche dark brown wax, voila – the drum table redone!
You just can’t beat a drum table – ba dum ching!

Gorgeous! I love it and way to make it back home after the CL house!
This table is gorgeous! Love the mixture of colors!
That is really pretty! You always know just the right amount of distressing for a piece, and this color is so soft and lovely. I wish I was as talented as you – maybe with trial and error, someday!
