I’ve had some good luck lately at the thrift stores and have another great find to share with you today. When I first spotted one of the french tables I noticed that it was missing its bottom and was about to leave it behind. However, around the corner was its matching pair (bottom intact). I grabbed both and am hoping to somehow have a piece of wood cut and secured onto the bottom of the table. This may be tricky as the shape is not rectangular but I shall try.
The tables are round and have doors with grilles and the pretty feet. They will look so lovely when done.
They remind me of the tables that I did last February in Annie Sloan Antoinette.
Another similar pair I did in the past was this Drexel set in Old White.
I’m going to have fun with this new pair!
Speaking of pair, here is a doggy update! Harper is very happy and has quickly made himself a member of our family. He loves to play, go for walks, dig holes and his favorite activity is chasing Lucky 🙂

I am envious of the Craiglist finds. Love the tables. I know they will be even more enviable after you finish them.

Hi Suzanne, Those are lovely tables, I’m looking forward to seeing the transformation.
You probably already thought of this but for the missing bottom try taping a piece of cardboard to the bottom and then trace the shape from the inside, measure the ‘lip’ edge the bottom sits on and offset the template that measurement, then cut out the shape. Or if you can remove the bottom from the one you have and trace that shape. I’m sure you’ve already got a plan but I thought ‘what the heck’ I’d added my 2 cents. 🙂

Hi Annie, yes that is what I plan on doing. I have done it before on other pieces but never circular. So, this should be interesting!
