A Little Fresh Paint // 2.20.12

Filed In: Crafting, Our Home

About a year ago we bought this table at Value Village for $15. We painted it once and I repainted it again a couple weekends ago since we’re now using the table as a desk. It’s nice to have a clean white surface to work on. I picked out a black and white paint color and got a small amount of each. I used frog tape to mask off a few areas and came out with this look. It now has the cute terrarium we made last week sitting on it.

Hope you’re having a good Monday!

    If you do I’d love to see how it turns out! I almost did neon yellow instead of black but I thought the black would be best.
