So remember this table I picked up on Craigslist for $20 bucks?
Good lines, super sturdy and perfect for a little storage.
I decided it was going to live in my "new" craft room. So I grabbed my favorite hand sander...
Yes, Octo Sander, that is you!
After a good sanding - did I mention the Octo Sander has attachements? - I grabbed the same painting supplies I used on my craft room dresser.
I painted it black, and when it was dry - just a little bit of sanding to finish it off. Oh, and I took of the hardware, gave them a good scrubin' and used a little Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint.
And here is my lovely $20 Craigslist table (sorry for the bad photos the sun was shining in, but I am not complaining)!
So all one needs is a little sanding, a little painting - and of course the time to scour Craigslist!
Today is the last day for the Parade of Homes over at Poppies at Play - be sure to head over and check out the great homes for today.

Wonderful! I need to hunt Craiglist even more.
I wish I could say I saw the fabulousness coming when I saw your first post about this table, but I seriously underestimated how great the finished product would be. I love that table. Great job!
It turned out fantastic!! I love all the great furniture make overs I keep seeing- but I haven't found anything yet to test it out on!
What a fun piece. I suspect the seller would totally want it back!!!
That is fur-eakin incredible! What kind of paint did you use?

Another great job girl! I had hopes of scoring something fabulous at my local auction last night but we were hit with major flooding!!! Maybe next week...
$20.00 well spent!

Oh yeah...that looks AWESOME!!!

It is STUNNING! I wouldn't have had the vision for what it "could be," but you did a marvelous job. I am a huge fan of all things painted black, so I guess I'm not surprised that I love it ... what a beauty!
Wow, you did an awesome job!! Love the color!!
