a few weeks ago i spotted this beauty at a local thrift store.
how to do it:
1) clean the table, remove the hardware and sand down some of the rough sections.
2) prime the table using Kilz brand spray paint primer. supposedly it is the best for this type of thing.
3) paint the table using whatever color you like. i used martha stewart semi-gloss paint from home depot in 'popcorn' and applied two coats.
4) spray paint the hardware. i spent a lot of time at home depot and anthropologie trying to find the perfect handle but at the end of the day i decided to stick with the original. i used rustoleum spray paint and painted it black.
5) attach the hardware and enjoy!

i'm debating on whether to distress the piece or not, any thoughts?
