Disclaimer!

Okay, as promised I am back today to reveal my table redo. I realize that after my little kitchen, everything else is going to pale in comparison...NOT because I did such a great job on it, but let's be real, it was a kitchen after all! This is just a little table redone to hold a boring TV. THAT is my disclaimer...carry on!

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!

  1. Very nice! I wouldn't have guessed that it was wrapping paper. I'd love to see the whole room!

  2. 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!!
