I found this piece of junk side table at Goodwill for $4.99. I didn't know where it would end up once I was finished with it, but knew I could FIND somewhere for it for 5 bucks.
Talk about DRABBY! The left inside wood was completely peeled back and needing some SERIOUS work.
I used my rotary sander and took it down to the original wood (forgot to take pic, sorry.) At this point, I still didn't have a real vision for the table, so I spray painted it black.
Once it was dry, I knew something else needed to happen to it. That's when I found some paint I've had for almost 4 years. Illusions Faux Finish Crackle. I got my fine sandpaper out did a quick rub over it and got to work.
Here's everything I needed for this project - Best of all, EVERYTHING here I already had from previous projects.
The hubby snapped a pic of me HARD at work. It's a tough life guys!
Beginning to dry. Crackle has only started to begin.

This fabulous piece now has a new home in the Guest Bedroom. I am SO in love with it!!
TOTAL COST: $5.00
This is a SUPER easy project after all the prep work. Here's how I did it:
- Step 1: Apply Base Coat (whatever color you want to show through on the crackle)
- Step 2: Apply Crackle Glaze. I used Sherwin Williams Illusion Crackle Medium.
- Step 3: Apply Top Coat. I used Valspar Spa Blue.
THAT'S IT! The crackle does all the work for you! A-MAZING!!
