| Before |
For Christmas, my grandfather rescued this...lovely...table for me to use in my apartment. He also gave me some paint, because my grandfather is smart like that. I am neither a Jeremy or a Britney.
So one blustery winter afternoon I set about working on this project. I was going to paint the table white, because I am on a white kick and have been painting everything white.
I got the legs and sides done and had started on the top.
You see that bright green circle up there? I don't know what kind of paint that is, but I'm pretty sure it's evil. It will neither wash off or be painted over. It did not matter how many coats of primer, it bled through. Obviously I was going to have to change tactics.
Luckily, a few months ago I had picked up some vintage wallpaper from Goodwill. I decided to paper the top of the table, and then put a layer of contact paper over that. It's not the most permanent solution, since wallpaper wasn't really made to be washed everyday, but considering what I primarily use the table for is to keep my scanner and printer off the ground, it works.

However, I'm planning on moving out of my house come August and have decided I'm not taking this table with me. If you or someone you know loves it and wants to come and get it, they can have it. Otherwise, I'll be giving Goodwill back this section of wallpaper.
But it is a smashing after picture, isn't it?
Before I actually read the post I looked at the 'before' picture, not realizing it was a 'before' picture.
ReplyDeleteI was a little concerned for your well being.
But now, I am more than happy with you. :)
Well, it is SOMEONE's after picture. My money's on Britney.
