Here is my great find from the local Salvation Army Thrift Store.
At $5.00, I thought it was an awesome project starter- good bones, cheap price!!
I cleaned it up and removed the funky fake wood adhesive tile (we're talking sticky!) that was partially covering the leather inset on the top portion. This consisted of me chiseling tiny uber-sticky chunks off with a screwdriver. Probably not the best tool for the job, but we had just moved into our house and unfortunately, my tools were not all accessible.
Since the leather below was shot, I figured I would re-cover that part.
I spray painted the table using Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Semi-Gloss Ivory Bisque.
After a couple of coats it was looking sharp! I used a black and white toile contact paper (from the Dollar Tree!!) for the top inset.
