Lace Side Table

This was my first major project.  I found this side table at a rummage sale for $6 and somehow...saw the potential in it!  I found a version of this idea in a book and adapted it to my liking.  So as you can see this is the before...not so pretty, but just you wait!

So I basically sanded it down first.  The top was pretty clean but was more of a laminate finish so I roughed that up a little bit as well.  I took off the hardware and set aside to paint later.  Once it was sanded and cleaned I spray painted everything but the top black.  With the top I chose to spray it pink but you could do whatever color you'd want.  Once this all dried I took a piece of lace that I bought from the local fabric store. I set that on top and taped it down fairly well to avoid movement.  I then sprayed the black over the top with the lace on.  ***Make sure you have a fairly heavy lace or the black may seep through.*** I removed the lace pretty much right after spraying it and....
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it turned out soooo good. Oh by the way I sprayed the hardward just with silver paint as well.  I'm pretty proud of it but just wait till you see the mama version!!! COMING SOON!
