$5.00 coffee table



I found this oversized end table at my Goodwill store. I'm using Kilz primer first, then brown latex paint. I'll go over the brown with some darker brown and black to give it a faux wood finish. Then vanish. I'm going to add some handles on both sides to make it look like a coffee table. I don't like the top scroll much, so I'm going to get rid of that look with wood I found in the garage. I'll just tack it over the scroll.
