A Table Transformed

Happy Monday!

I have had this table that I picked up at a garage sale for awhile now, knowing that I could do something with it.  I mean, don't you always have a place for a cute little side table, somewhere in your house?  Well, I do anyway.  Or at least I can find a place for one...

Here is a quick before/after:

I debated about the color and whether I should add some sort of embellishment.  A stencil maybe?  Once I decided I was going to put it in my son's room, the decision got a little easier.  And when I came across some fun, navy blue gloss spray paint, it sealed the deal.

My oldest son's room is in the basement, and since he is on the verge of becoming a teen, I have spared you his room (and will continue to do so for the moment).  Pre-teen mess aside, his room is a funky shape, making it a bit of a design challenge. 

To orient you a bit, his room is off the media room area of the basement from the tour I gave awhile back:


There are double-doors to his room, similar to the ones that lead to my office on the other side of the room.  As a result, there isn't a lot of room for a decent bedside table in his room, so this table definitely fit the bill!

It works perfectly in his room when I shoved the mess aside put it lengthwise next to his bed.


See, a little room to spare when you open the bedroom door.
I had the lamp in his room already, sitting on his desk, so it fit in nicely.

As for the design - it was simple, really.  First, I spraypainted the top of the table in a glossy white.  Then I taped off the square with painters tape and sprayed the entire table in the glossy navy.

It just gives it that little bit of added interest, don't you think?

What have you spray painted lately?
