Hi Friends!
Hope you’re having a good week. It’s getting colder here in upstate NY which means the fall foliage is coming soon. I adore fall… its crisp evenings and the amazing vibrant colors of the trees. This weekend we did our first “fall activity”, going to a local farm festival. We went to Predel’s Ranch and had a blast on the hay ride, riding the miniature horses, and checking out all of the animals. Here are farm photos from the day. :)
This week’s makeover started with this small antique children’s sled.
A customer named Theresa sent that picture over and asked how we could turn it into something unique for her great nephew’s nursery. Her niece had used this sled when she was a child and it was one of the few memories that they still had a tangible item to go along with. She wanted to surprise her niece at the baby shower with a one of a kind present.
We decided the back arm had to be removed or it would look too awkward. So here it sits… trying to decide what to do with it. 
Then John built a base for it to make it a small side table.
We went back and forth about whether to keep some of the original markings of the sled. Theresa and I talked it over and she decided to go with all gray so it would be neutral in any nursery. If you’d like to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post.
The gray we chose was Benjamin Moore’s Silver Fox color.
After the photos we also ended up buying glass for the top, too! Here’s a quick before and after picture for Pinterest! 
Hope you love it and want to repupose something from you childhood into something you’ll use and love now.
