The table flop

Once upon a time

In a blank and bare basement

There sat a large coffee table

The table was primarily used for feet and food

But its large size and light color made it stand out too much

Especially in an otherwise perfectly put together space

BAH! Got you on that one.

In that land was a crazy blog reader

She read a little too much

Thrifty Decor Chick and Centsational Girl

and thought she could tackle the world with a spray paint can.

False.

End of the fairy tale, folks!

Here's the skinny on the stitch:

Before

 

And after

This after is upon completion of:

2 coats of primer

3 cans of spray paint

2 coats of latex based paint

and 2 sandings

In summary, I don't like it.

The black is great and matches our TV stand (as you can see)

But I can't get the paint even and it's killing me slowly. 

Plus it just feels like paint, ya knows what I'ma sayin?

Maybe a sheet of glass is in order for the top.

Or another round of sanding and painting and polyurethane.

Or maybe just contentment.

Yes, a nice thick dose of contentment should do the trick.
