Almost all of my small side tables that were in the shop have sold, so my shop owner asked me to make more. One problem…it’s been, like, three degrees outside, so I have not been able to use my spray booth. (I have to open my basement doors for ventilation and really cold air and wet paint don’t play nice.)
So, I had this yawn of a table that was my printer stand in my office…it’s a small table and it’s already painted. So, I stared at it for a while and waited for some inspiration.
I really like how my Mod Podge Table turned out, so I decided to try it again, but with a different look. I have loads of old sheet music that I rescued from my grandparent’s attic and thought it would look lovely on the white table.
I used Mod Podge to decoupage the sheet music to the table top and bottom shelf.
I then distressed the edges of the table and finished it off with an antiquing stain. I love how the stain seeped through onto the sheet music in some areas causing dark spots. It looks perfectly aged.
This table had a lot of imperfections. I think I bought it at a yard sale for $1.00! Because of this, antiquing and glazing it was a great way to hide and even emphasize some of the flaws.
If you like my little mossy topiaries, you can see how I made them here.
One note, Maggie from The White Farmhouse paid me a great compliment with this award. I just wanted to say thanks and give her some linky love.
I have a great giveaway coming up and don’t forget about Furniture Feature Friday! Will you be featured as my favorite from last week? Check back on Friday to see!
I’m posting this to Transformation Thursday at the Shabby Chic Cottage, Frugalicious Friday at Finding Fabulous ,SNS at Donna’s and Met Monday.

I just bought my first bottle of Mod Podge since I was like… 7. And I feel like I have some mighty powerful tool in my hand when I hold it. I can't wait to come up with some projects! Thanks for sharing this table. It's amazing!
Beautiful as always! I really love the addition of the sheet music and the stain seeping through gives the piece so much character.

Just found this one. I've never had many painted pieces of furniture and never anything with sheet music but I love, love, love this. I come from a very musical family. I have one piece of sheet music framed which is one my Grandma wrote. Noone can find any more of her published sheet music ;-( But I just got inspired from this post…reading how you looked at the table waiting for some inspiration…and thought, I could probably have my Grandmas music copied onto some old looking paper and then do a table similar to this with her music! Wouldn't that be sweet…gosh I'm starting to tear up thinking about her! Just love all your cuteness in your posts! Thanks much!
I'm scatter brained tonight…the main reason I came back to your blog tonight…then got sidetracked on this post and thinking of my Grandma's sheet music…was to tell you that I added your blog to my sidebar. Have a good night!
Menina, esta mesa ficou lindamente original !!!
Parabens pela criatividade.

I am featuring this side table (one of my favorite projects from you!) tomorrow (tuesday) on somewhat simple!
Talk to you soon…
I'll be doing this with my really ugly two-drawer lateral file cabinet in the piano studio corner of my living room. Great inspiration, thank you!
