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.
