I epoxied a cheap pre-cut wooden round from Lowes to the top and spray painted the whole thing white (because that’s the color I had on hand).


I might go back with a punchier color later. But I like the white for now. Easy and very cheap is my favorite kind of project.

We are currently in the process of buying a home and it realllllly needs a new coat of paint and I love the two colors you have.

  7. Hi, I just came across your post.

    I like your "makeovers".

    Love the "Little white table". I'm all for re-inventing pieces of furniture. Paint cures all. Feels like you are always getting something new.
