As promised, here is my Summer Project #2. For those who've been wondering where I've been, Summer Project #1 was my painted armoire.
Sometimes having a zero-dollar budget actually allows you to follow the most current trends.
What?
Did I just say you can have the latest trends with no money? without breaking any laws?
Well, that was my thought when I had an inherited dining table that looked like this:
I also had a can of white paint and some brownish craft paint.
So for $0, a brillo pad, and a couple of days worth of rest-time painting, I was able to jump on the white dining room trend.
That is a trend right?
No?
Oh.
Well, at least I'm not out any money.

Oh how I wish my dining table didn't have formica top. Pretty hard to do anything with that, except find another table. Yours looks great, and the best thing is you can change it up whenever with a little paint. Jackie
