I enjoy DIY projects, especially re-purposing furniture. Here's an easy project I did on a wooden storage table. As you can see in the photos below, this is an old wooden furniture. My husband and I tried giving it away a few times to friends but somehow we still got stuck with it. Now, I'm glad we weren't successful in getting rid of it, it's one of my favorite re-purposed furniture I've done so far. With this project I used: sand paper, black high gloss paint, black glossy spray paint, white spray paint, screwdriver, paint brushes, scrap-booking paper, and mod podge.
1. I first unscrewed the hinges to remove the doors. Then I lightly sanded everywhere that I was going to paint over, including the individual doors that I removed.
2. I painted three even coats of black. While that sat and dried, I removed all the brass pieces on the door, including the brass hinges. An even coat of white spray paint is laid over the brass pieces. Once the white coat was completely dried, I went over it with the black glossy spray paint.
3. The front of the doors had a very old look to it so I decided to cut a piece of scrapbook paper and mod podge it on.
4. After everything was completely dried, I screwed all pieces back to place.
5. FINISHED! Felt like I owned a newly bought piece of furniture!
