One of the Lowe’s Creative Ideas challenges for September is furniture makeover…
I just happened to score this little thrifty treasure from the thrift store…
for the low, low price of $3.99! A cute {hospital} bedside adjustable table in need of some TLC.
I gave it a good cleaning then disassembled the parts.
After taping off the casters, I gave it a few light sprays with a metallic gold spray paint.
Once that was dry, I went back and forth on making a decision on the tray part. A shelf board would work. So would a serving tray.
I went with the serving tray. I reassembled and used smaller wood screws to attach the tray to the frame.
Now it’s a convenient bedside accessory…
I liked that it has a lip since the tray tilts forward. Great for holding a book or tablet.
Adjust to the table top position for a portable desktop, breakfast in bed or bedside, chair side or couch side table.
Makes for a pretty side table too…
What’s your latest thrift store, estate sale, flea market find?
I received a Lowe’s gift card to put towards this challenge. Opinion and above idea is 100% my own. More DIY ideas at Lowe’s Creative Ideas or follow Lowe’s on Instagram, Pinterest and sign up for the Creative Ideas magazine and app.
That is so beautiful, Roshel! I love it!!
I did a bedside table makeover too! 🙂 How crazy is that?
Love you!!
Love this make over! Would have totally snubbed this find. You did a fantastic job!
What an awesome find and a great makeover! I would love to have this for my laptop!
I just love your make over. Such perfect colors for me….. and obviously you too. The price was great also. I need to go check out the Lowe’s Creative site now.
why did these practical tables go out of style? I had almost forgotten about them, their usefulness and how practical they are. I even remember thinking to myself at the hospital after I had my baby that “these tables are so useful (but ugly)” and the thought stopped there….
Thank you for sharing your project, so inspiring and so very pretty.
Thanks, Lorena!
Too “hospital” or “medical looking” for some, but I loooove the new look and most of all, the function!
That turned out so good!! I would have never been able to pull that off!
Whoa! What a nifty little piece of furniture. And I LOVE how metallic that gold paint is, swoon! The transformation is fantastic, I love it!
Gorgeous redo! Beautiful Job!
