I got this table at The Salvation Army Thrift Store for $5.
It didnt start out like this it looked more like this:
Solid wood with some cute lil detailing but overall - ugly.
So, I took my gray reject paint from Walmart that was discounted to $4 and some 87 cent black acrylic paint to it.
First I took the handle off the drawer and filled in the holes with some wood filler and sanded it down so I could add a knob. I lightly sanded all over with my orbital sander. Painted on two coats of latex gray, let dry overnight. I dry-brushed the black on the next morning. I went back and lightly sanded some spots with a sanding block.
Im sorta haphazard with my painting. And sanding.
I also took some very berry Walmart special! and painted the inside of the drawer and added a half off knob from Hobby Lobby.
Way better than what it started out with! Right? Right!
