Last month my husband and I saw a huge sign of a garage sale going on in my in-laws village. We decide to go and check it out. and found this side table the lady was nice to give us a discount. At first I thought of putting it beside our bed but after measuring it, it wouldn't fit to the sides. A day aftre i told my husband that i'll just use it at the ground floor as a corner table. Then start the sanding and disinfecting.

| This is the table in it's original look |
 |
After sanding and disinfecting it using vinegar (I read from one blogger that she used vinegar to give the wood a clean state)Gave it enough coat of primer, i used a spray primer.
|
 |
| Let the primer dry for at least an hour (just to be sure). then after that spray again with the black paint. i used a very matte paint to match my other furniture but it turns out that it was too matte! |
 |
| Then i decided to paint it with clear polyurethane to give some shine. I have also learned my lesson on using the polyurethane as it could leave a visible paint brush mark maybe next time I should try using a foam. Again just to be sure I let the paint dry for a day. |
 |
| For the top of the table i choose this really nice white and silver paper wrapper. just trace the table then cut accordingly. |
 |
| Used a spray adhesive. Make sure to smoothen out all bubbles. |
 |
And then I mixed a 1 part glue and 1 part water to make a mod podge. This is to protect and give the paper a smooth shiny glide.
 |
| I also added a knob to it by just using a mighty bond permanent glue. |
|
 |
| This is the finish table. What do you think ? |
 |
It perfectly matched my other furniture.
Hope you guys and gals got inspired and thank you for stopping by.
