I lucked in and snagged this little table at Goodwill for $12. It needed a little paint and polish to get her looking pretty but it was just an afternoon's worth of work. I think our new nightstand looks great! I would love to share with you how I did it!

This is a closer picture of the glass finish.

Luckily, the caning was in perfect condition.

I have a similar Goodwill find with a glass top and I love the idea of the mirror finish. Did you spray it on the UNDERSIDE of the glass or right on top?

How hard was it to paint the caning? I love the mirror finish and want to do it on the glass in the middle of a coffee table. Thanks for sharing.

Great job, thank you for posting. I have small table with glass insert, place piece of lace under it, since bottom not in good shape, now can rid of old lace spray paint to look like mirror. Thx
