French Provincial Table Makeover

I was invited to participate in a monthly bloggers' challenge by a group of very talented women known as The Thrifty Chicks! This month's theme is small furniture. I had no trouble finding a piece to re-love -- can you say flea market French provincial side table? So stick around to see not only my small furniture transformation, but those of my talented friends as well! Also, I'll be sharing a little-known DIY furniture distressing technique you won't want to miss!

Creating hand stamped book bundles is an inexpensive, quick and easy way to make a decor statement any time of year.

This year I'm using my vintage wooden tool caddy as a Christmas centerpiece on my farmhouse kitchen table. Stick around and I'll show you just how I did it and what I used to achieve the look.
