I picked up these matching side tables at a local thrift shop on their half-off day. They were rather plain and boring, but the price was right and I figured I could do something to make them more appealing.
I decided on two-toned paint for this pair. I used Paris Gray and Old White Chalk Paint, but the tables still looked too plain and boring to me.
In order to create some character for these plain Janes, I decided to add a design to the drawers and bottom part of the tables. I found a simple, flower stencil at the craft store that fit on the drawers perfectly.
Now the Plain Janes are not so plain!
