I have two pieces for sale at Easy Street Resale in Pelham, AL. Easy Street is located on 31S just before the intersection with 119, right next door to McAlister's Deli.

I have had this waterfall side table for years. I wasn't sure what to do with it, so the end product is totally improvised. I think it gives it more character, but it's certainly not for the faint of heart!

Here she is before:


Not too impressive, although I love the shape of waterfall furniture. Here she is after:





I custom mixed the paint and then (accidentally) went to town with the sander. This is a much more aggressive finish than what I usually do, but I think the outcome is pretty cool. $69

The second piece I found last summer at a thrift store in Hanceville, AL. I thought she would look great updated with a stained top and a painted bottom. I forgot to take a true "before," but here she is with some of the top already sanded:


And with her all good and sanded:


And after, all stained, painted, glazed, and the top coated with poly. These were taken at Easy Street. The nice folks there staged her pretty nice:




I think the sign is funny. I do wish I had a lake (or pool!) to jump in to! I didn't take a photo of it, but the table is sitting next to the most rustic adirondack chair I have ever seen. They look pretty good together! This table is priced at $79.

*Update - this piece is SOLD!

These are the only two pieces I have there now, but I have a beachy/cottage side table I am working on that (hopefully) will be ready soon. I have to do most of my projects outside, so I have to wait until evening to be able to work on anything without dying of heat stroke!

Thanks for stopping by!
