$1.98

I wish I had taken a "before" picture of this table, because that's the only way to really appreciate it. When I saw it at Goodwill, it had ugly green puppy dog material stapled to the top of it, but I still liked the round shape and legs so took a chance (for $1.98!).

When I got it home, I ripped the fabric off and saw why they had fabric on the top - it was painted with layers of white, crusty, uneven paint.

But after minutes with the palm sander, it looked like this! I can't imagine what people feel like when they find quality wood floors underneath carpet in their house or something - I am so proud of this table (yes, I'm a dork). I'm going to use it for the kids "craft/art" table so we can use our kitchen table for things like eating (imagine that!).
