UPDATED: Drum Table Rescue

UPDATE: I have seen a lot of traffic from this little project! Mostly because it has made its way around the Pinterest world...(which is GREAT) but, I am not blogging at this address any longer! 

I would love if you would come check out my NEW space over at The LINLEY HOUSE! New blog, same Sarah!

 I am going to re-post this entire project over at the NEW site and I would love for you to click through and consider pinning it from THAT site! Thanks so much!

  8. Sarah!--I adore this table. I really think it needs to come live at my house. =) Seriously, I have just the spot for it and I was totally looking for a little round table just a couple weeks ago. The yardstick top is just brilliant!

  10. Love this table! I love yard sticks! they remind me of being a kid. I wonder why people don't use them anymore. As a kid we used it all the time...

  14. Sarah, this might be the best re-do I've seen in a long time!
    The table is just beautiful. All about it.
    And the yardsticks - I just can't seem to find any of them. And I've been looking...
    Again, great job, Sarah!

  23. This is SO pretty! Firstly, I LOVE yardsticks. Especially used ones. Something about them talks about creating things, and I just love that. Secondly, the style of that table is AWESOME! I love the legs- what a great find. =D I'd love for you to link up to Sweet Sharing Monday! http://saynotsweetanne.com/2012/sweet-sharing-monday-4/ (Open until Midnight tonight)

  25. Love it! I have a regular end table that needs a "tune up" and this yard stick topping just may do the trick. How is your heart letting you part with it? Wish I was close enough to get it ;P

  47. I was at a garage sale on the weekend and saw some old yard sticks and hummed and hawed over what I could do with them. I was thinking picture frame, but this is brillant too! I love it!

  57. Let me say this right up front - the drums, and any other
    musical instrument, should be "fun" above all else. If you
    are not having fun while playing an instrument, then being
    a musician probably isn't for you. Sure there will be
    challenging times where you really need to focus on developing
    a few difficult techniques, but at the end of the day - it
    needs to be fulfilling to you. If you aren't having fun,
    it's only a matter of time before practices become a chore,
    and gigs become a hassle.
