Here's a picture of a project I just finished. I could kick myself for not taking a before picture. I got this from my local ReStore for $4.99. It was ugly, brown and very worn, but I knew it could become beautiful with a little work. I sanded it, sprayed with white primer, then with white paint. I had some old Ralph Lauren glaze that was a taupe color and I added some black paint. Then I applied the glaze, added the legs, sprayed some poly and ended up with a pretty cute table for under $20. My husband was even impressed, I thought for sure he'd hate it, since he's not really into this sort of thing. I have some old project I'll be posting and lots of new ones on the way. From this point forward, I will have to remember the before pics!
