I found this cute little table at a yard sale for $5. Since I can NEVER pass up a bargain, it came home with me.

After a little time with my palm sander, the table reached this stage:
Since I was planning on painting it, there was no need to remove all of the paint - just the crackles!
After a couple of coats of white enamel - the transformation:
This little beauty is going to live on the landing of my stairs. I think it will have a lamp on it -or maybe, a plant!
