Coffee Table Love

So, you might be aware of my LOVE for paint and using it to turn our ugly furniture into something I can live with and dare I say, like! 

Well, we have a C.H.E.A.P coffee table that, yes, serves it's purpose, blah blah blah... boring.  I decided to do a little perk me up on the ugly thing that involved 1 yard of fabric, 1 foam cushion and some leftover black paint and primer from this table and chairs project. 

The fabric was on clearance at fabric.com, so that was only $6.  The foam is ridiculously expensive, but of course I never buy anything from JoAnne's unless it's on sale or I have a coupon, so with my 50% off coupon I think it was around $15. 

So for just over $20, we have a new-ish coffee table that I actually like!  Yippie! 

BEFORE PICS (you must admit, UGLY!)

AFTER PICS... better?

Wait, wanna see the before again?

And the whole room...

I love it!  I do wish the stripes were lengthwise, but that would have required buying more than 1 yard and I was on a budget.  Otherwise, why not just buy a whole new table? 

I found a tray at Goodwill for 2$ that I will be using for drinks as soon as I...

wait for it...

wait for it...

paint it.

Haha, not kidding.
