Table Make-Over

I have had this table for a long time and never liked the color of the top of it. It seemed too light for the dark base. Also in the room I had it in, it didn't seem to look quite right. I checked into getting a piece of granite for it and it would range from $350 - $400. I didn't want to put that much money into it and since the table is still in style I decided to paint it.

Step 1 - Tape paper to protect wood underneath the table top
Step 2 - sand the finish off
Step 3 - 2 coats of paint (used the type with primer) I went with the same color as my kitchen since this is a transition piece
Step 4 - 3 coats of Poly (I used the type that has acrylic in it so it has a stronger finish and shouldn't chip or get dings as easily.

It looks perfect and like the right piece of furniture for the space! And with a little time and some leftover paint - I now love the table. Do try this at  home!
