Antique dressing table gets new life as two side tables

You don't see too many dressing tables in use anymore in modern decor but that doesn't mean you can't modernize it for today's needs in the home. This once single dresser table was missing the mirror component so what do you do with it? You cut out the middle peice to separate the two ends and voila! A pair of bedroom or living room side tables complete with drawers for storage. You just have to add a fourth leg in the inside rear of the cabinets to complete them as individual, free-standing peices of furniture. Paint as you like, refresh the knobs or add new ones and you've got a great pair of side tables that will last for years.
