$8 table

I love to go to yard sales. As the saying goes ...

One man's trash is another (wo)man's treasure

A few weeks ago, I found a small treasure in the form of a table.

Alright, alright. It was definitely nothing to look at but I had high hopes from it.

First thing I had to do was sand it down.

Then it was time to set it all up. I put some concrete slabs on top of a towel. Then I put the table on top of that. I was hoping to not let any primer or paint get on the driveway.

Then it was time to prime the table. Luckily, it was a very hot, sunny day so I only had to let it sit for about an hour before it was completely dry. The table already looked much better

Now, it was time to decide what color to paint it. Originally I wanted to paint it black and put it in the dining room. It would then match the black table and black filing cabinet. Then, I talked to Superdad and he suggested the chocolate brown that we had painted part of the bathroom. That got me thinking. In the end, I decided to go with a white base and brown top.

Overall, I could not have been happier with the table. Now, to find a place to put it.
