Pottery Barn Ludlow Trunk Knock-Off

Sarah M. Dorsey Designs is back to show how to make a simple metal base for a table – using aluminum strips and rivets. This would be perfect to make a trunk or chest a little higher or if you have a top and need a simple base. For the past month or so I’ve been using my campaign chest as an end table in my living room. I loved the idea of it as a nightstand, but I prefer my nightstand about level with the mattress. Inspired by Pottery Barn’s Ludlow Trunk, adding a simple metal base, made it the perfect nightstand height!

Chalk-Like Paint Finished Ice Blue Table

Chalk-Like Paint Finished Ice Blue Table

Back in December I was perusing Home Goods when I came upon a table on clearance for $65.  I don’t think the color combination of the table appealed to many, hence the reason it was on clearance.  I loved the shape of it, especially the curve on the bottom drawer.   I decided to give this a little chalk-like paint finish makeover using the same colors as the sofa table I did last year with some CeCe Caldwell chalk paint.

Pink Nightstand

Pink Nightstand

Carmel from Our Fifth House is back sharing her spray painted nightstand.  Who says furniture can’t be pink?  I love it and the story behind it is even better. If you are one who hates painting over wood avert your eyes – it is pink alright!
