A beautiful old peice of furniture (under $5 at the D.I.)...
Four hand picked peices of paper, adhesive spray and a thin board... 
Beautiful! and OH-SO classy! But we're not even close to being done...
The paper looks GEE-ORGEOUS! Eh? 
I'm loving this classy style, but this table is going in a CHIC house, so let's see what BLACK will do...

Mmm, I'm loving this...could I get a slice of cheesecake to go? (sorry, LOVE makes me think of cheesecake)...
I'm crushing on this pattern of paper... 
Yes...THIS paper... 
So I decided to take a light wood stain and an old rag, and went around the edges of each paper to make it look older... 
To match the old paper, I took a sandpaper-block to the black chic table... 
Just a lil' sandin... 
...and a lil' lovin... 
...and beautiful wood detail...
is enough to make me happy.... 
This isn't going in my house, but I think I found a good home for it.
I'll enjoy the pictures of my labor though.

Oh, this is so funny but I've got you beat. I only paid $2.50 for mine and it's very much like yours only it has a drawer in the end. Mine also has a hole in the top. What did you use to close the hole? Obviously it is something that the paper adhears to really well. I was considering tile for the top but that look just isn't what I am looking for.
You did a really nice job I love your table. I'm painting mine white~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
I can't believe your luck, I was at the Di twice in the last week and I spotted good things but they wanted upwards $40 for most things, what's happened to the DI? I'll keep looking. GREAT job I need something to transform, so jealous!
Wow, what a difference. Nice.
Thanks for stopping by This Southern Girls Nest!

Hi Lindsay !
Thanks for visiting my blog !
I love your table and how you scrapped the top - so cool ! I think black is so sheek !
Hugs ~ Kammy
p.s. my blog has lots of projects with the buck spray paint from Wally World too !
Your table is fantastic! I love everything about it from the black paint to the patterned papers, but I think distressing it was the best move of all. I just LOVE the results. You go girl! Definitely "Very Cuegly!"
Love it! I think roughing up the edges was the perfect touch. Thanks for dropping by my blog :-)
That my new found friend,
is what I consider FAN-TAB-U-LOUS!!!
I love, love, love it!
God's blessings, Sarah :D
Oh your table looks great. I'm planning to paint two end tables black and distressing them. I have new furniture coming and need to get them done! The table is stunning!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting me.
I love it...I love the idea of using paper to fill in the hole...and it can always change as seasons, moods, or decor changes!! So Cute!!
Great work on this table - what an original thought - the scrapbook paper instead of the trials of getting glass for that table! Good job!
Lovely job! Looks like you and I have a love of gorgeous scrapbook paper, Sweets! And lovely furniture, too!:) Lori
Oh I LOVE it!!! you did a GREAT job!!

Just ugly enough to be cute? That sounds like a style I like! I LOVE this table. But how did you get the paper into the table top? I would love to copy this idea!
You breathed new life into that table, didn't you? What a great idea to use the paper like that. I really love it!
