I just ran this cute little guy down to my antique booth At Time Goes By in Greenwood, Mo. But as I was writing the tag I couldn't decide what to call it. Is it a stand, a bedside table or a small chest?
Anyway I wish I had taken a before photo. I found him buried in a damp basement at an estate sale. All the paint had peeled off the sides and legs from the damp. I brought it home and used a putty knife and sand paper to get rid of the peeling paint. Gave it three coats of an off-white paint and used a hand sander to distress it a bit. When I sanded it some very pretty blue popped through that I wasn't aware was there. But I was so pleased with the result and couldn't have planned it better. Love it when that happens.
Now I hope someone likes it as much as I do and takes it home for Christmas even if I don't know what to call this piece of furniture.

I don't know exactly what to call it either, but no matter. It is just precious.
Oh and if I *had to* name it, I'd call it a wee-little chest. :-)
