Coffee Table Makeover ~ Gone To The Wall

Hello everyone!  Here something I did a while ago and forgot to post about.  A coffee table experiment makeover, gone art piece.  I was using this thrift store coffee table (actually I think it was a yard sale) to experiment with when I first got my Rub n' Buff.  First it went gold, then it went.... not gold.  Here it was to start.  Basic and brown!

Then it went gold... and then I went tape happy.



After all that taping and rubbing and buffing.  Oh yeah this was done with Rub n' Buff, surprise, surprise!  I used several different colors.  Silver leaf, Gold leaf, Grecian gold, and European gold.
It ended up looking like this. 

 

But!  I didn't stop there...

Then I decided to take the legs off... and hang it on the wall!  You can see it better there right?!
The nice thing is I can easily put the legs back on and use it as a table anytime I'd like.  I'm a girl who likes options!!




How's that for dual functionality!  A 40" x 40" round, $5 piece of art!


Smiles!

    This piece turned out fabulously. Again no prep, no finish/sealer needed? This technique just keeps sounding better and better.
    Love the pattern too.
