Thrift Store Card Table Refresh

Before you throw out that old card table, you may want to read about my refresh!

**This post contains affiliate links, which cost you nothing extra, but help me do more cool projects.**

A few years ago I was in a Goodwill and saw a card table that was calling my name. For some reason I turned my back on it and ever since that day, it’s been haunting me. Talk about perfect timing for the At Home DIY Thrift Store challenge and guess what I found? Another card table this time at Habitat Restore for only $5!!

Of course I found it when I was getting ready to paint all the kitchen doors. I put that poor sad table to work until I was ready to refresh it.

First things first, I took the top off. Which was SUPER easy because there are just a few screws that holds the top to the base.

I pulled off the nasty brown plastic that covered the top, but tried to save the foam so there would be a little bit of padding.

Now it’s time to have some fun!!!

Using sandpaper I gave the base a good rub down to take the sheen off and get it ready for paint. I had some really pretty Devine Color spray paint from a project I didn’t end up doing. Thank goodness for stashed supplies. After a few good swipes of the spray paint, I could tell even that was a huge improvement.

This super adorable flannel lined table cloth I found at Hobby Lobby was perfect to recover the top of the table. I pulled it secure, cut off the excess, and used the staple gun to tack it in place.

Believe it or not, that’s it. I reattached the top to the base and my $5.00 thrift store find looks like new! I love how easy it was to give it a little update and all in total cost me less than $10.

This thrift store find has new life!

This thrift store refresh is going to be the perfect addition to our outdoor entertaining.

From early in my relationship with Courtney, we lo From early in my relationship with Courtney, we loved going to open houses and parade of homes. Anything to get ideas and inspiration on what we wanted in our own home. Believe it or not, we’ve moved 10 times. Of those 4 were homes we bought and one of them a home we built. Needless to say when we saw the online photos of our “hopeful” future home plan, we agreed we had at least one more move in us.  What’s something you’re looking for in your next home?
In my lifetime of doing DIY, I’ve picked up a fe In my lifetime of doing DIY, I’ve picked up a few tips and tricks along the way. #partner Check out the link in my profile for my first @homesdotcom article of the year where I share all my juicy secrets. 🙌🏽
I needed to take a long break after last week to p I needed to take a long break after last week to process all that’s going on. I’m still processing. One of my favorite things to do is take long walks through construction sites surrounded by plumbing and framing.  No lie. This is where we’ve gone multiple evenings over the last couple of weeks. This place has brought us a lot of peace and on the blog I’m spilling the beans on our secret.
I had to do it too and pull up my top nine from th I had to do it too and pull up my top nine from this year. And I’m not surprised by what’s there. The tragic helicopter accident that took Kobe, his daughter, and their friends rocked me in a way I didn’t know it would.  It was clear that y’all loved the bedroom renovations this year and our @wearewoodgrain accent wall was a huge crowd favorite. Kennedy’s diamond pattern wall is one of my most pinned on Pinterest to this day. I’m deep in planning mode for this year and can’t wait to bring more fun content. Hope that everyone had a great night and an even better weekend!!
Walking out of this year with a whole new perspect Walking out of this year with a whole new perspective. While this year was filled with so much uncertainty, I was still able to find some light and a more clear vision. (I’ve always said the best lessons come in the valleys of life.) I’ve spent the last few weeks with Court and the girls and I’ve come to some realizations that will change the vision I thought I had for the future. I thank you for being on this journey.  I’m blown away by the people I’ve met online and in person from this community.  The opportunities I’ve been blessed to experience.  I pray that everyone has a safe night and we all wake up tomorrow with hope that the new year will bring more peace.
