End Table Makeover

Moving out on our own has been a bit of a challenge financially. With me not really working and Jason in the process of being laid off for the winter we were on a VERY TIGHT budget. With this tight budget I decided to put my pinterest ideas to work and I chose to take what we could get....because lets face it FREE is BEST and beggers can't be choosers...and I decided to try my hand at repurposing old furniture.

Jason's aunt gave us two really old end tables that had seen better days and used my handy work to give them round two at life. 

Here is my step by step instructions and what you will need!

Supplies Used:

your old piece of furniture

Kilz spray primer (approx: 3)

Krylon spray paint (approx 2-3)

~color used khaki gloss~

Behr faux glaze (1 qt can be used for many projects)

Sample of black paint to mix in with your faux glaze

New handles

Step One: Prime entire piece of furniture with kilz primer. We used about two coats just to make sure we covered everything. 

Afterwards let completely dry

Step Two: Use your Krylon spray paint and cover thoroughly we did 2-3 coats. Make sure you let dry in between each coat. 

Step Three: Mix your faux glaze with your sample of black paint into a bowl. Paint on with a brush making sure to get into cracks, this will give the cool effect your looking for. Afterwards wipe off with a damp cloth. By doing so it will leave the faux glaze in the crevices only. 

Let completely dry when finished. 

Here is what our piece looked like afterwards. We added new handles since the ones that came with were junk. We also ended up spraying the tiles on top white.
