Green with Envy: End Table Makeover!

This little end table is another proud find from the church rummage sale. Like the sewing stool, it was originally priced at $2, but then marked down to $1. Here is my makeover tutorial, enjoy!

What you need:

• White spray paint, I recommend Kilz, it is awesome!
• Painter's tape (I used masking tape from the dollar store, but painting tape will be better)
• Acrylic Paint (I used apple tart)

Here are the before photos:

Step 1: 

I spray painted the entire table with the white spray paint. 

I let this dry for about an hour, then flipped the table over and spray painted underneath. I then let this dray for another hour.

Step 2:

Let the taping begin! I started taping diagonally from left to right:

Then I began taping over the current tape diagonally from right to left. This is what I got:

I also taped around the edges for a cleaner look. I only wanted the center of the table painted.

Step 3:

Time to Paint! Make sure your tape is attached tightly! No loose pieces! For paint I used acrylic, Craftsmart in Apple Tart. I began painting the inside of the taped area with a paintbrush. This is the product:

I let this dry for about an hour. You do NOT want to pull off the tape when the paint is wet. 

Step 4:

Ladies and Gentlemen, pull off the tape!

I went around the edges that were smudged with a small brush and some white acrylic paint, just for touch ups. 

Tada!

Here is the before and after shot:
