A Cheap End Table! and Lantern GIVEAWAY, too

While on Cape Cod last week I found this little table at a Thrify Shop Yard Sale. I liked that I could store books underneath. My original thought was to refinish it, BUT...
it was quicker to pull out the good 'ol black spray paint:
I have the perfect spot for it, right beside the couch:
Not bad for $7.00, huh?
Don't forget about my CSN Lantern GIVEAWAY - enter here - contest ends on Friday!

I am joining

  2. I love that table! I'm trying to get one done that I found at GW. It'll go next to the couch like yours. Yours being $7 is a great price, and it turned out really great.

  6. Ah yes, black spray paint. Is there any thing it can't fix up? I think not. Good job.
