Upgrade a thrift-store table or bench with a fresh coat of paint and a vintage design such as an antique key advertisement, suggested Art Is Beauty. Gently sand the table, wipe the dust away, then paint it in a spring color such as Pantone’s Greenery.
Create a transfer of the vintage ad design by printing it on an inkjet printer in reverse on the waxy side of freezer paper. Set the image wax-side down on the table, then burnish it with the edge of a spoon or a gift card, being careful not to let the paper move. Carefully peel the paper away once complete.
The total estimated cost for a thrift-store table makeover is $9.26. Here’s what you’ll need:
Fine grit sandpaper: $5.77
Freezer paper: $3. 49
