Funky Folk Art Table – Before & After

~BEFORE~

This side table is a $5 yard sale find. The finish was in rough shape, but it was solid, made well, and had a good shape…so, sold! I normally go full out feminine on my furniture, but the lines on this piece didn’t lend itself to scrolls and flowers,so I went with a colorful funky folk art theme that would look so cute in a country modern kid’s room. This piece is currently for sale at my retailer in Gettysburg, PA if you’ve gotta have it!
