From Trash to Treasure Tutorial: Mid-Century Modern End Table


Here's a mid-century end table I picked up at a thrift store. I don't know why, but I really like these old retro tables. They're all over the place at thrift stores, too. Since this was my first one, I got a cheap, laminate model for practice.




The shiny laminate was THICK, so I had to really get in there with the sander. 


Since the wood wasn't that high of a quality, I decided to paint rather than stain it; 
so out came the primer!


It took more coats than a normal piece because of the laminate, 
but I went with some retro-green tones that would restore it's retro design.


If you're in the Pittsburgh area & interested in purchasing this end table, please contact me at this blog or email TheVintageMagi@gmail.com.
