Another home adventure!  I promise I do more than just decorate my house.  Okay maybe that's a lie.  At this point in my life I feel like it's all I do, but I like it!  So, I found this little number at the DI for $10 bucks.  I loved the metal pieces and detailing on the legs and thought it would be a perfect coffee table for my living room.

I painted it the color of cement using a brush.

Husband comment: "I don't get it.  Wood isn't supposed to be gray."

I glazed it with a black glaze and when I wiped the glaze off it started pulling the paint off in places.  Remember how I mentioned I don't know what I'm doing.  Well let's pause for a moment to do a quick Q&A. 

Q: Christy did you sand your piece before you started? 

A: Nope 

Q: Christy did you prime your table before you painted it? 

A: Sure didn't 

 Although it doesn't look pretty in the garage I ended up loving this piece.  I love the shabby chic look I ended up with as a result of doing it all wrong. :)  I'll have to take a pick of it in my living room so you can see how cute it actually is.  Best of all I think my husband actually likes it!
