Table Top redo

I love to furniture shop, old furniture shop. There is just something about taking old and giving it new life. I spotted this little table in a consignment shop and every time I went in there I was drawn to it.

It wasn't pretty, just a plain old table. I didn't even know what I would do with it, but on the four trip to this shop I decided to get it. It was around 16 dollars so it was a pretty good deal. I have had it for some time and had forgotten about it. One day my husband said he was going to do something to it. (I think he was tired of it being in his shop....ha!) I am so happy he did.

He fixed the rough edges, sanded it and painted it. And then he took an old dictionary and tore out pages and placed on top. After many coats of sealer, I love it. When he decided to do the pages he picked out pages with the words....love, beautiful, daughter, family, proud and more like that. My daughter uses it as her side table.
