I've been wanting to refurbish these two end tables for months! We bought the one dor 2.50 at a garage sale. We sanded it and then bought a house! So that project came to a standstill. Well this weekend it was 70 degrees out and beautiful! It was time to finish this project. Unfortunately, with my excitement, I forgot to take before pictures. I did take a picture of this after the first coat and before the lace.
After I let this dry, then I added the lace. My husband and I picked out a pattern we liked and then draped it over the top of this table. This was the first time that I've ever tried it. So, there were some problems I became aware of. You have to make sure the lace is completely flat against the surface. Also, make sure that you spray a generous amount of spray paint against it. Overall, I think it turned out well. We are in love with it!
I think it looks rather awesome, if I don't say so!
I got a bit excited and wanted to do the second end table immediately. Why not?! We actually didn't do anything to this. We didn't sand it or strip it. I tested the Primer + Paint on a small piece to see how it would come out. We liked it enough to go ahead with the whole project. This is how it turned out..
It looks just as good as the first table. I absolutely love the fact that paint exists with primer. It makes the job so much easer. We used Valspar paint from Lowe's. It was less than $4 a can.
