You know how some people love to get the Barney’s Christmas catalogue? Well, I feel that way about the West Elm catalogue. Every month. I literally flip through and die page after page. I used to dog ear the pages I liked but that got a little ridiculous so I now I just make a mental note that I would like everything. Sometimes I really consider getting a part time job there because I just want to be surrounded by their stuff but that reasoning hasn’t convinced my husband to take on single parenting duties just yet. One of my favorite things in their catalogue right now is the Dipped Side Table. I just love it! And as much as I hated to presume I could be as cool as the WE designers I had a sneaking suspicion I could knock off that table for much less. Turns out I was right…

Supplies:
decorator table (found mine at Bed, Bath, and Beyond)
glossy white spray paint
painters tape (or masking)
sand paper
painters tape (or masking)
sand paper
cost of West Elm’s = $129
cost of mine = $10
Before painting I did go over the table top and sides with a hand sander otherwise the paint would just soak up into the wood. You could probably prime it first too instead of sanding. Then I taped each leg from the bottom-up about a foot. I didn’t have painters tape so I just used masking. Just make sure that the piece going around the edge where paint will not be is a good even line and that there are no gaps.
Clearly the West Elm version has wider legs and a thicker table top but for 10 bucks mine will work just fine for me! Some of my taping didn’t do it’s job so the border on the legs is not exactly perfect but what drew me to this table in the first place is the beachy, casual vibe of it so I say imperfections only add to the cool factor. (right?). I may add a high-gloss clear coat down the road to add a little more gloss and shine but for now she is living in my room. Anyone else have an easy, West Elm knock-off? Share please!
