The guilded girl

I got this great side table over a year ago from none other than Goodwill, for around $8. 

My husband asked just the other day if the clerks know me by name? The answer is no, 

not yet, anyways.   

But that's besides the point. 

Here's my table:

I spray painted it white but never really loved it, I almost gave it back to goodwill because I just wasn't inspired.

 Until, I saw these floating around the internet:

I was in LOVE, I figured a little liquid gold leaf would give me the same look for hundreds of dollars cheaper! 

Isn't she pretty? 

Just a few coats of liquid leaf (gold), brown craft paint, and clear poly spray. 

I think she looks so much better, don't you?
