January is simply flying by. Steve and I have been getting into some home-improvement projects, one of which being this coffee table. It was an old laminated round table that my dad found while dumpster-diving and it has traveled with me to various apartments and counties as we've moved. At the moment it's a little out of place because a round coffee table is conducive to conversation and more than just a couch (it needs more seating around it); so instead of trashing the whole thing, we decided to spruce it up with our leftover chalkboard spraypaint. It's a success!
It took only an afternoon and one can of paint and the beloved sander to dull down the clear coat on the top. Eventually, we'd like to paint the rest of it. Any other creative ideas for the sides? I was even thinking of trying to do a mosaic tile...
oh cool! You could do chrome sides or like a brash or brushed silver look....not sure. Or, you could be more creative w/ color on the side...colored glass?
ReplyDeleteBut love the chalkboard look, friend!
how fun! love it!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...brushed silver...I like that! I didn't want to just paint it black like the top. Thanks! :)
