Before and After

[u/dourrose]

Found this broken on side of the road with a free sign. I removed the legs for it to fit in my car and ended up replacing some hardware. Got a lead test, all clear. Cleaned and fixed it up for my toddler as a craft station that was short enough :)

That's really quite lovely! At 1st, I couldn't tell what it was without the legs. I thought it was a bed frame or a really odd bench 😅 It is unique even as a table - I've never seen shelves like that before, but I'm sure they'll be handy for organizing craft supplies.

Thank you! My sister guessed it was a sled 😂 I’m excited about all the options. My little one already loves it

What is it exactly. Originally? I wouldn’t be able to resist picking that up if I saw it and definitely wouldn’t have made it so nice how you did. Nice job.

thanks :) i’m guessing it was meant to be some type of coffee table. There were scribbles on it so i think the previous owner used it for a kids station too

OP, ya did a good thing in upcycling and the craft center is awesome. I never sand, just slap paint on cuz I am impatient but might sand on my next project.

Great job and looks better 👍

[u/AtlasAfterRain]

It went from looking ordinary to something you'd find in a fancy design store. Love the new look!

[u/PaulineRusert]

Beautiful!
I thought it was a bed at first.
You did a really nice job.
Why did you decide to go with paint instead of a stain, oil, wax, or other finish?

[u/dourrose → u/PaulineRusert]

Thank you :) mostly because it’s for my toddlers space and i wanted to make it more colorful

[u/jmk338]

That looks amazing! The color is timeless

[u/1mAfraidofAmericans]
