The beginning to my creative side!!!

Erin's Attic

I want to thank my High School friend Erin Podell Bankston for showing me how to let my creative juices flow!!! She takes furniture and refurbishes them. I had two end tables that were my Grandmother's and I loved them but they didn't go along with my living room motif. So I contacted Erin and asked her what are my options? I wanted to keep the style the same because they are a precious memory from my childhood growing up on the Shore. Erin looked at the pieces and decided she could help! She took the legs and added new spindles, sanded the entire table, and painted them a dark chocolate. I collect tiles of the Kokopelli that my mother buys from Arizona. My husband and I have always wanted to create a back splash with the tiles but haven't done that project yet because we want to upgrade our house one day. So, I asked Erin if she could incorporate my tiles into the new design of the tables, and she did! Below are the pre- refurbished tables and then the New tables! Check them out! I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or comments! Also please check out Erin's Attic for all of her projects she has worked on!
