Antique TV Stand

We needed a stand for our large flat screen. After searching and searching we couldn't find an entertainment center we were willing to pay for that was the right size. We lucked out for next to nothing we found this great piece at a yard sale. It's an old timey TV holder that fit inside, you know the kind with cathode tubes (Google it). My Sweety re-stained it and made it lovely.

Kids Picnic Table Redo

 This is what the table looked like when I bought it except a little  more faded. I got it from a yard sale and I hated the colors in my kitchen. I use it as a snack table for my little one. It was ugly and a little bit of a pain to clean so I spray painted it. That made it worse because any food that was stuck on would chip the paint so I wanted a better solution, and this is the result.

I spray painted it about 5 months ago with Rustolem for plastic spray paint. After I finished I read the "TIP" below and sure enough the paint chipped off easily over time. I don't know what effect this step would change for someone who doesn't do it.

I washed it down and took it apart, 8 whole screws. Very easy but be careful of the plastic screw covers I broke one and had to glue it on at the end.

Spray painted it with a really cheap plain black spray paint. I would say about a can and a half. While the paint was drying I used a staple gun to attach fabric and then vinyl covering for easy clean ups. I bought the vinyl at Walmart in the fabric department.

Here they are all finished in no time. Just a little tricky because the edges are rounded but I muddled through. And here is a pic of after I put it all back together. He couldn't wait to use it! Now I just need to get a better rug for underneath :)

Someone else did my project!
