I found this little side table with shelving at a yard sale in town one day on the way to soccer. It was only $5 and I really liked its sweet shape.
it was a little beat up but nothing a little paint couldn't fix! I knew I wanted to paint it in an aqua in case I decided to use it in Emmy's room when it was finished. I decided to tackle it with my Annie Sloan Provence!
I gave it two coat, lightly distressed it by hand with some sandpaper to the edges, and then waxed it with a clear wax and buffed it. Here it is when it was finished and ready for its outdoor photo shoot.
I loved it when it was finished and it seemed uch more functional for Emmy. We are always looking for more book storage, and somewhere to put her blankies she sleeps with each night. So naturally we kept it, and it has worked out very well! Here it is in her room!
You may notice something in that picture... a new quilt! I was in LOVE with Emmy's pastoral quilt from Urban Outfitters that we purchased a year ago. Unfortunately I think the batting the company that produced it used was cheap and fell apart inside the quilt front and back, leaving holes where it would not keep Emmy warm this winter. The fabric is so thin that I was afraid to take it apart and refill it. I decided to purchase a complementary quilt and fold the UO quilt at the foot of the bed. Emmy was not happy at first because she loooooves her UO quilt; after all it has deer and birds on it! But when the new red gingham quilt arrived from West Elm, she was thrilled and loved that we were able to keep the UO one on the bed as well.
The gingham keeps the fun vintage-y vibe in her room and works with everything we already have and will keep her warm all winter! I have bought West Elm bedding before and never been disappointed. Here is how it looks in her room now....
I love how the gingham pairs with her toadstool table and chair set!

That side table was meant to live in Emmy's room. Destiny.
Love the new bedding too. Darn cold weather has to be good for something!
How stinking cute is that little bedside table? It's adorable and cute, unique bedside table options are so hard to find... love it in Provence!
Wish I had something to share this week but my last 2 posts have been about non-furniture items... I'll be back next week!
A big sigh of relief for the success of the new blanket! It looks cute and, of course, so does her perfect little side table.
I love that side table! What a good idea to even make it such. I would've seen it and wondered what to do with such an odd and cute little shelf.
I love your daughter's vintage room, especially her little vanity nook!
Thanks for hosting,

Love that darling side table! It's perfect for Emmy's room.
What a sweet side table! Wish I could find something with all those neat shelves. I really love the way her whole room came together. You have quite the touch/vision Miss Cassie!!
Awww, you find the sweetest things! Just perfect for Emmy!
What a great table! I've never seen anything quite like it! Lucky Emmy :-)
That is perfect for her room. Lots of storage and just the right size. Love the color you chose. BTW, the quilts - both of them - are awesome.
Love Emmy's new quilt---the red gingham is so classic and cheery!
Love that little side table- the color is perfect!
I love that new little bookshelf :) it's perfect in there. And the gingham goes perfectly with my-favorite-UO-quilt. I love it all!!!!! She has the sweetest room!
Cassie, you are a total genius. I usually have a pretty good eye for the potential but I admit I would not have seen it in this piece. It's sooooo pretty now!
Oooooh, I love that little side table. So pretty & so great that it has lots of shelves :) Love the gingham too!! I guess my photo display thingy doesn't really count as furniture :/
that table is so cool! shelves galore. no furniture to link up this week but still popping in to party and say hi!
Your daughter's room is completely adorable! I am in love with that shelf and it makes the perfect night stand. I have never seen one like that; it reminds me of a ladder. I love the color too!

The little side table is perfect for Emmy's room. Her new quilt is fun paired with the UO one. Works so well together! It's a darling room Cassie.
The aqua shelf and red gingham quilt are such a fabulous combination! I've been feeling the need for some gingham in my life lately...will have to check out the West Elm site. :)
It's like it was made especially for her room! What a perfect little nightstand with tons of room to stash stuff.
LOVE that little piece, Cassie!! Sweet little finishing touch for Emmy's space. :)

Yay! I have a post to link up finally! And mine was just $5 too. And I love Emmy's new warm and cuddle comforter ... too bad the first one didn't survive too long ...
:)

It's perfect in that space, such a unique table/shelf/bookshelf all in one!
It's so cute and I want the deer on the top!
That shelf is totally something I'd walk right past at a yard sale. If only I could see the same potential in it as you!
My blog is dedicated to furniture. That must be why I LOVE your blog and your party! Thanks, Cassie!
Adorable table, and I love that shade of ASCP!! Thanks for the party!

That is the CUTEST bookshelf! I actually said that out loud. I can't believe you got it for $5! You picked the perfect color for it. What a lucky girl Emmy is! If she ever gets tired of it, there is a girl in California that would love to have it!
Thank you for letting me link up! I love your little shelf, now I will have to keep my eye out for one just like it.
Cassie, I LOVE YOUR BLOG!! Thank you for hosting today!
