I found this little side table a while ago, I forgot to take a before photo, but I'm pleased with how it turned out, a great place to throw your keys when you come in the front door. It was black and wobbly, in fact it was positively falling over wobbly. It's slightly less wobbly after a little bit of treatment from Mr Beach Cottage and of course some love from me…I spied this out and about and it just seemed to want to come home with me to the beach…so it did.
oh and I worked on a new project today, in between playing taxi driver, sigh I did the happy happy dance, I'll try and post in the next few days, I did take before photos and it involves a very sad and unloved orange pine, yes orange, pot cupboard and a roll of vintage-style gift wrap…and let me just say girlies, this turned out so wonderfully that it seems nothing is safe in this cottage, if only I could turn Mr Beach Cottage into a vintage-paper-clad designer piece of art or paste vintage ephemera to the family bathroom floor!
Hello! I can’t believe I haven’t discovered your gorgeous blog before now. Love your cottage and all your beautiful photos. I’ll be back for a closer look at your blog another day.

My dream day would be thriftying with you! everytime I see something you have painted it makes me want to find a sad piece of furniture and bring it to life!! I really want to see this Vinnies place and dig…

You have done so many great re-dos, I am starting to wonder, how much more space do you have in your cottage to keep bringing things home?
I love lots of things about your blog, but I always love your photography, and the beautiful flowers you often have sitting about. They are so worth the splurge!
It looks lovely! I love a good find like that.
If you’re very still around my house, and I’m in the “decoupage mood,” you’re not safe from Modge Podge either!

Hi Sarah – Great little table and I love what you did with it. My daughter has been here in Ca. visiting for the past two weeks and needless to say I haven’t had much time for reading all my favorite blogs – I did however find the time to show her yours and she just loved your cottage.
She’ll be heading back to Australia at the end of the week I’m sad to report.
Have a happy day!

So pretty..I love the chair with it!

Just had to say how much I enjoy your blog! I love looking at all your thrift store finds! I am so much happier in thrift shops than in a dept. store any day! Your before and after pics are inspiring too. Your are on my favs list for sure!
Take Care,
Beth

Hi there, Just to let you know Ive been following your blog for a while and I really do think ‘ your not bad for a pom ‘ and to let you know that I also live on the central
coast and your ‘not bad for a coastie ‘ as well. cheers Kerrie
Your house is so pretty! You have impeccable decorating style!
love how you have flowers everywhere!!
oooh I’d love to see the before photo! Don’t forget nest time, Ok?
I know how you feel, I feel the same prized possession too in thrift store or auction finds. Dept. store or chain store bought are good too but the feelings isn’t just as near.
I love your table and chair. The glass lamp is stunning on top.
The table looks nice, too bad there isn’t a before pic
