On a little break from the house painting I bring you today’s Before & After.\u00a0 This gray drop leaf was redone for Kelly Sherman Design and can be purchased here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I found this side table at our local Restore where is was mixed among the dining room sets looking like an orphan.\u00a0 I loved the french provincial legs.\u00a0 I also think it is great when a piece of furniture is multifunctional so I liked the drop leaf sides.\u00a0 This table can be used as a nightstand or an end table but also a coffee table with the sides up.\u00a0 It could be very handy in a small apartment where you might need entertaining space one night and floor space another.<\/p>\n

The After:<\/p>\n
