Table - PAINTED!

Here is a before and after picture. I painted the table red first, and then black/greyish... It looks great! My mom actually likes it because too much brown and blue in one room, could need something attractable! :) Bought it from goodwill for 2 dollars each! I made it abstraction!

    Really? It came in different sizes? I didn't know, I actually like those kind of table because its cheaper to buy and its very simple. Like perfect for pictures and pot of flowers. Even perfect for mini Christmas tree! It is very useful for anything! I don't know why isn't popular anymore! :-/

    Well back in the day (early 1990s) when I used the ones I had they were called "decorator tables" and were meant to be covered with long table cloths. I just may have to get mine out and fix them up like you did and use them again.

    Oh yeah! Especially we only have one, and we we don't have another one, so I did it with curtains. LOL. So, I painted, and looks amazing! You don't have to sand it or anything. Just paint them over. I did it with the wall paint, it stays really good!

    It'll be awhile before I have time since right now hubby and I are in the midst of redoing all our storage areas in the house among other things. It never ends.

    We'd have plenty of storage space if I didn't have so much fabric, yarn and furniture! It seems everytime I think I'm getting somewhere finishing our home, not the bones, but organizing and/or decorating someone moves in or like this past year, our daughter's wedding to side tracked me. I'm determined to not let anything stop me this time. Maybe slow me down, but not stop me.
