found and finished

 ...found, discarded.

 ....finished (below)

First, my husband patched it a bit...

Then he covered it with  little primer mixed with paint to tint  and

finished by brushing with thinned-down white paint.

Then I took a crumbled rag and blotted it till I achieved the desired effect..

And yesterday, on the way to be with my parents,

we stopped in to one of my favorite thrift stores where I found THIS.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen another sewing cart/side table
quite like it!
