For Christmas this year, we gave our toddler an art table. I found this great table and 2 chairs at a yard sale over the summer for $5, planning on painting it while it was still warm outside (we live in an apartment with no garage).
Well, fast-forward to the week before Christmas, and we finally got this baby done. No, it didn't take 6 months to paint it - try 2 days, but I am the world's worst procrastinator and kept putting it off. Anyway, we used my mom-in-law's garage and finished it just in time for Christmas!
The only before shot I took - the replacement top is already in place and we had already sanded it. There was some sun and water damage on the top, but the rest of the table and chairs were in good shape.
AFTER
We sanded and spraypainted the table and chairs, and primed and painted some chalkboard paint on the top.
Its a hit with our son - hopefully it lasts for a while!
I have lots of chalkboard paint left. I wonder what other surfaces I could paint. :)
