Anyway- The table is pretty dinged up, but since I figure any kids I had will just destroy it anyway, I decided to just use the dings to enhance my shabby chic vibe.
Here is the before.
It isn't a very good picture. I always forget to take the before pictures.
So, I spent $6 on two cans of aqua spray paint, $3 on clear top coat, $5 for the knob (which was a splurge, but I love it.) and $10 for chalkboard paint for the top. I don't really count the clear coat and chalkboard paint into the total cost because there is so much left over that I can do a lot more crafting with those.
So, one week and $20 later, I have a new coffee table!
It was my first ever attempt at antiquing anything with paint, so its not the best job, but I learned a lot and I love my new table!
