Skinny Thrifted Wood Side Table

When I spied this unique side table (bench??) at the thrift store I knew it wanted to come home with me. Even though the wood was worn, I could see the possibilities and the price was right.

I usually caution thrifters to look items over carefully before buying. Oops, I forgot my own rule and it wasn't until I had this piece home and was tightening up the bolts when I noticed that someone had painted a cactus on the side.

It sanded off easily. I then used Wise Owl Furniture Salve (you can buy it from my friend HERE) to make the wood shine.

Not only do I love the beautiful wood on this piece, but the slender size of the table makes it the perfect side table.

I love creating sitting spots in my home and a nearby table is a must. This one holds plenty of necessary and decorative items.

A place for a coffee cup or cocktail and a book.

I love thrift store diamonds in the rough and this side table certainly fits that label.

PS: Everything in this picture is from a thrift store or garage sale, including the plants--the chair, pillow, table, books, teacup--all of it and that makes me happy.
