A made-over make-over

Of course I think people should buy everything I paint, but it doesn't always happen. Sometimes things just don't find a lovely home to go to. The best way to deal with it is to re-think the piece  and get out the paint cans.
This coffee table was decoupaged with leopard tissue paper and given an aged finish. It had a few lookers, but nothing serious.
It received a fresh coat of black paint.


Since this little blinged up table already had the bling on it,  I had to figure out away to paint around it, and yet cover the flowers.


So I decided on a stripped, french market inspired pattern. 
Hopefully now they are ready to fly out the door!

Jen,
I love the Table Makeover! It is such a great idea! I always see those tables at yard sales and thrift stores, but I really didn't know what to do to make them look like yours! Thanks for sharing them!

LOVE the striped table! And I so want to drop a mirror on top of that black coffee table for a little drama...looks like it even has a high enough lip to just lay it on there. So I'll take that one, please! :-)
