The end is here..

I'm back at the whole DIY thing. This time around it is an attempt to spruce up my family room. For the longest time I have just done what I could with the decor and furniture that I had. Well- I'm in my big girl house and needed to start to really decorate :)


I started with the purchase of the pottery barn rug (more on that in a bit)


THe next thing on the list- end tables! We were surviving with just one end table that didn't really add much to the room. 


So.. my dear friend Gina found these on craigslist..we had a vision of their potential..

After a trip to the good ol' Home Depot, I purchased some spray paint primer, black spray paint. 


I washed them, sanded them and started to coat them in primer. the transformation begins.

Recap of this little project that only took a Sunday morning to complete..

2 tables- $30 (craigslist- plus the lady lived 2 miles from my house!)

Spray paint- $15 (primer and paint)

Sand paper- already had some

TOTAL: $45 for 2 amazing looking end tables! Whoohoo!!
