Four years ago when I moved the city I was totally broke right after college but I needed things for my new apartment. As luck would have it my mom and I happened to stop at a garage sale in upstate NY and found a great coffee table that was so sad looking with stains and pen all over it (the owners grandchildren's unauthorized art project). I was unconvinced but my mom saw the potential and persevered asking how much it was, the answer: 5 dollars - sold! After a lot of sanding and staining it was a great looking piece!
As the years went by I still loved the table but I thought it needed a facelift. So, I decided to paint it black. However, without the luxury of being in the country with all my dads tools and outdoor space I knew I couldn't sand it. So as luck would have it they now make liquid sandpaper (how great is that). My father took a trip to Lowe's and got me all the supplies I would need, paintbrushes, primer, etc and VOILA - the transformation!
