DIY Painted Table

I literally did this in 2 hours. So obviously you can too. This little table was purchased for a client to use behind her sofa. The price was right and I liked the clean lines and the cute tapered legs. But it was screaming for help. It was sad. Sad and unfinished.

So I decided to paint.

First I primed it with a tinted primer (Rustoleum...the best) because this little guy needed to be black.

I totally forgot to take a photo after it was black...but you get the idea. Then things started to get crazy. I taped and spray painted the bottom of the legs gold (Rustoleum again...metallic brass). I just measured up 13" from the bottom of each leg and used painter's tape to get a crisp line. You can do as much or as little of the leg as you want...just don't cut it exactly in half.

Bam! Sad to awesome. How cute is this??! Can't wait to get it in the room.
