Before n After

**March Madness update:  The team I picked to win the ENTIRE tournament????Yes, Georgetown, you know who you are!  Well, they LOST yesterday, in the FIRST game. So they're out.  (Don't ever take me to Vegas with you.)

I purchased the above table on ksl.com for ten dollars.  I've been on the lookout for a while now for a smallish wood table and some chairs to put in Brick and Houdini's room. They have lots of space and I thought it would be fun for them to have a kid sized table to use for homework or legos or whatever.

I purchased the chairs at DI for five dollars each.

I rounded the table's square corners with a jig-saw.  I took the table top off the base and cut 6" off the base so the table would be more kid sized.  (This also involved cutting a metal rod inside the base of the table, which I didn't anticipate.)  I then reattached everything.  I primed and painted the table.

I antiqued it a little (I figure the boys will antique it plenty with normal wear and tear.)

Finally, I modge-podged a piece of scrapbook paper on top ( the fake map), surrounded by "vintage looking" stickers that are "travel" themed.

I also painted the chairs. (Obviously.)

I'm going to decorate the rest of their room with a "vintage airplane" theme.

One of these days, anyway.
