I had to keep it simple...this table was old and made from what almost appeared to be scrap wood. No fancy paint job could be done because I could not sand down far enough to get to anything decent enough to work with! So it was black paint and wrapping paper, of all things!
You remember the before:
And here she is all done:
The drawer was just not working with paint alone. Because the drawer was wider than 12 inches, I was not able to use just a sheet of scrapbook paper (which was my first thought). In case you didn't know, Hobby Lobby has a great selection of everyday gift wrap and they had several black and white patterns that I could choose from. This paper is quite thick and perfect for Mod Podging (although I prefer a project called "Perfect Paper"...works so much better for me!). Better yet, I have a ton left over to wrap my daughter's birthday presents tomorrow!
Cost breakdown:
Table $10
Paint $4
Paper $3
Hardware $2
Total Cost $19
So whatcha' think?
This room is now done...finito, complete! Maybe tomorrow I will post pics of the whole room...it has certainly been a work in progress!
Till then...happy baking!
There's a skinny girl who lives inside of me that's screaming to get out...I can usually shut her up with cookies!

Very nice! I wouldn't have guessed that it was wrapping paper. I'd love to see the whole room!
Dude!! This turned out so cute!! How weird that it couldn't be sanded though. Oh well, I think you did an amazing job of transforming that crappy little table into something beautiful and the perfect addition to your "studio!" LOL You're a re-do GENIUS!!
