We had a plight in our bathroom. We did not have a toilet paper holder, which of course means that that poor roll of toilet paper was subject to being placed on the floor or on the back of the tank. We wanted to buy one that we had seen in the USA somewhere (walmart, mijers, or target, I am not sure where) but when we had the money for it the next time we were there, it was gone. we looked almost everywhere for it but to no avail. So I came up with an inspiration. I was going to look for a little table, and then it could serve multiple uses! It could be used as a plant stand/toilet paper holder/magazine rack! So I started looking on kijiji, but couldn't find what I was looking for. It was after I subscribed to several blogs such as hypheninteriors, designspongeonline, or
Emily A. Clark just name a few, that I decided I would look for an old end table and finish it myself! a couple of weeks later while on our way to London, we came across this beside the road!
Before
It was love at first sight!
After
It needs one more coat of paint and then I would like to try sanding the edges to make it look antique, but we`ll see.
I was thinking about maybe starting a business by refinishing pieces like this one and then selling them. what do you all think, would you buy something like this?
