Thrifted Thursday with Sabrina of The Pink Little Notebook

I am so happy to feature one of my newest blogger friends, Sabrina from The Pink Little Notebook . We actually met at Blogpodium last Saturday and it was great to chat and get to know one another in person!

Your favourite thrifted item: One of my favourite and most memorable thrift item has to be my bamboo side tables. Where you bought/got the piece from: I found this piece during my first visit to a thrift store. I wasn’t too sure what to expect but I instantly spotted & fell in love with this piece. I can definitely say from that very moment I knew I found a new passion.

I’m now a frequent thrift store visitor! What drew you to the piece: 1-it is a sturdy piece of furniture that will probably last me forever; 2-I couldn’t resist the curvy geometric pattern; and 3-the price! At $10 a piece, I had nothing to lose!

Describe any work you did to give it new life: It was a fairly simple process since the piece was still in good condition. A light sanding and a coat of primer was applied to prep my surfaces. I opted for a neutral colour and spray painted the entire thing (two coats to be exact).

I finished it off by hand painting some of the geometric pattern in white paint and added some rope accent to finish of the piece. how you use/display it: Today the piece sits proudly in my family room as a side table. What I love about this piece is that it is also sturdy enough to use as a stool when I need the extra seating.

It was definitely an awesome find! What an amazing find for $10! I love how the rope adds a little somethin’ somethin’. It definitely adds more interest and texture to the piece!
