Bedside Table

AFTER

In our room transformation we tried to be very frugal with our choices. One way to do that was to reuse furniture to get a BIG wow with a little money spent as possible. Here is the same table as we found it. A very familiar piece that many of us have seen before but simply does not have a very modern or country look to it.

BEFORE

So how did we bling it up?

Our supplies:

1. table to be refinished

2. sandpaper

3. drop sheets for paint overspray

4. well ventilated area

5. 1 can of pink spray paint called Watermelon from Wal-mart.

6. Glass squares from the dollar store were $1 each.

7. spray adhesive

Our first step was to wash down the table well and remove all dirt.

Secondly we gave it a good sanding to give the paint something to stick too.

Third we gave it at least 4 coats of paint. (on second thought a primer before spray painting would have been a good idea. I should know better but we were too excited to get started and missed that step.)

Finally we placed the mirror squares evenly on the table top and then picked them up one at a time to apply the spray adhesive.

Allow to dry and shine up those mirrors for a fabulous look.

I absolutely LOVE how this turned out!
