Odd Sized Table to Chess Table
$15
2 Hours
Easy
I acquired a very solid vintage oak table in the mission style. It was tall as a dining table with a small round top. After some contemplation, I decided to make it a chess or checkers table.
Instead of masking tape, I cut the squares out of Con-tact paper... it even has the grid on the back! I used black paint, walnut stain and varthane, all of which I had on hand. I did some light distressing before the top coat.
I love how it turned out!

Very solid, good quality mission style table.
I used con-tact paper to make the squares
I sanded it to make the paint adhere nicely
I loved it and so did the gentleman who purchased it!
