This cute dressing table was a curbside find just sitting in my basement awaiting the day I got around to her makeover.
It’s a sturdy piece and I didn’t have to do much except scrape off some old glue where a skirt had been glued on, sand it and scrub off all the dirt.
Inspired by Miss Mustard Seed’s fabulous makeovers, HERE and HERE, I decided to decoupage the top with pages from an old hymnal.
This is now in a corner of the basement family room. I have a set of old shutters (that need a little work) to go behind it to hide the breaker box, but haven’t added them yet.
I replaced the plug on the vintage $5 yardsale lamp and covered the shade in a piece of thrift store burlap.
It has 3 arms and a nice aged patina! A great find for $5.
I’m trying to create a family photo wall on the stairs. I’d love to have the whole space filled up with black and white photos.
The piece of burlap was long and narrow so I had to figure out a way to cover the shade. I ended up pleating it and think it turned out ok, not perfect but still ok.

Met Monday at Between Naps on the Porch.
I’ve been painting the living room today and working on my yardsale stuff in the garage. It’ll feel great to get this done!

I love anyone who picks up curb side junk and turn it into something of beauty!! Great find and such a nice job to the, what was once a vanity!!
Your lamp shade turned out nice also!

What a great burlap lampshade. That's so clever. And I love what you did with the vanity. You've totally remade it to look more like a bookcase. Fantastic!
That turned out great, Debbie! What a great table it makes and the shelves are always welcome storage. I can't wait to see the shutter done. That's a great idea to use that to cover the breaker box.
super cute!! I love it!!!
Debbie it is all so beautiful! I can't believe you found the shelves on the curb. Great find! I love the music sheet and the burlap shade is perfect for the lamp! You did an amazing job on everything!
Looks great…..you have a wonderful imagination.
Deb, that is really cute! Way to repurpose that old thing. Marian does great work on her stuff.
I love the little dressing table re-do. I covered my filing cabinet with pages from a 50's dictionary after visiting Marian. Yep…Ms. Mustard Seed is awesome. I did my first big furniture re-do after I saw her dining table.
The perfect paint color is so hard to find! And may I also say how glad I am that the red paint phase is on its way out…I love a good neutral!
That little table is fabulous! I would never have been able to see it's potential.
