My $5.00 Corner Table Makeover

This little corner table might just be my best thrift store find ever.  At least the most economical. It was only $5.00 when I bought it about 10 years ago.  And ever since then it’s been at the top of our stairs.  This is the table that holds my year-long Christmas tree!  So I figure that my total cost for the corner table and supplies was around $9.00, which comes out to a grand total of 7.5 cents PER MONTH that I’ve used it!  lol…  Yeah, I’m cheap!  Here’s what it looked like when I bought it.

Sorry for the poor quality photo… remember I took this over TEN years ago!

Corner Table Makeover Supplies

• thrift store table
• black spray paint

That’s it!  All I did for prep was to clean it.  If I was going to do this now I would sand it a bit before spraying but the finish has held up great over the years.  Only one little scratch on the top.

But let me show you the secret…  I only painted the parts that are showing at the front!

I’ve told you before that I like to start painting my jewelry cabinets upside down.  This is why.  Of course, no one has noticed in the last 10 years so I guess it doesn’t matter.  But I sure wouldn’t do this on a piece I was selling.

I’ve learned a LOT in the last 10 years!

This is the first photo of the corner table I shared online.  

And here’s what it looked like when I decorated it for the 4th of July.
