Table Flip

Hey guys! I am very excited to show you my latest diy. My mother and I did this for my grandmother's back porch. We did so many affordable projects for her porch and it is very exciting to share and hopeful inspire you all. 

This table was free. My aunt got word that a college near by was giving away all of their old furniture. The table does have several dents and dings. We used a hammered spray paint to hide all of the imperfections.

Here is another view of the table.

I spray painted the table in my grandparent's garage. It is very cold in Chicago now so I won't be doing much outside work anymore.

After we spray painted the table. We took the top off of the table to attach the contact paper.

We took the top off and placed it to the side.

We used a marble contact paper. My mom had this for years. You can find similar contact paper from Amazon for less than $10. When you lay your contact paper out, you want it to be as flat as possible. You want to smooth out any air bubbles. This will take at least 5-10 minutes to get the paper as smooth as possible.

After you place you conact paper on your table top, you need to reattach the table top to the table. Make sure you smooth the ends before you insert the table top.

Here is the finished product.

Total Cost: $15
​This would include the cost of contact paper and also spray paint.
