My curb find

15 years ago

I was taking my long walk this morning and saw this on the side of the road.

I'm hoping to clean and paint it and maybe use it as a bedside table. (I haven't measured it yet). Once I figure out exactly what I'm doing in the room, I'll decide on the color. We're just finishing up our bathroom renovation, so the bedroom is next.

Somehow I keep seeing it in shiny turquoise or green or something fun.

Oh boy are you lucky! That's an amazing find! I think you're spot on with the color ideas. A soft pale yellow or gray would be pretty too!

Great find! Go for a bright color--if it doesn't work, you can always go darker. Candice painted a sideboard turquoise in an episode this year and it looked great.

David Bromstad painted an old sideboard turquoise on Color Splash....really looked great. I think it may have been in high gloss, but I could be wrong.

Very cool piece! We have one curbside piece. DH found it for me when we were first dating and he was delivering pizzas.

I just saw this on Houzz--it's a glossy blue bedside table that the DIYer painted.

That is one beauty of a piece and it doesn't even look like rain was anywhere near. (the one or two times I have seen a good find out for the taking it was always after a rain!!!!)

Just be certain to vacuum it thoroughly...take the drawers out and do the inside as well. And then the bag goes to the trash. At least...if you are in an urban area. Bed bugs are making a comeback. I still buy used furniture...but it doesn't come inside until I've done those things.

Better safe than sorry!
