guest bedroom and upcycled side tables

No side tables + slim budget = find cheap tables to upcycle. Right?

upcycled side tables DIY

That's exactly what I did for the empty beige guest bedroom in my townhome rental that begged for some sophistication. I had only a bed (which I re-upholstered here), and therefore needed furnishings and decor, but with very (and I mean VERY) little budget!

A little sustainable DIY design was in order...

I found two unfinished side tables on Kijijji for $20 and painted them black and then cut leftover wallpaper to go under the glass tops that came with them.  


I then painted over an old yard sale picture for home made "art" in coordinating colours. 


Curtains re-purposed from my previous home added some luxury.


Now it can be called a proper guest room. All for $25. Calling all friends to come for a visit!
