Faux Granite Table

In the search for a larger dining table, we ran into a few problems-  1. We didn't have space for a larger table. The solution- bench seats. 2. The cost of new furniture. The solution- DIY.

I was a little hesitant to take on such a project as I can't even draw a stick figure but with cost savings as my motivation I gave it a try. 

I found a table on Craigslist for $40 (that way I wouldn't feel so bad if I totally jacked it up). It was in pretty bad condition with scratches and water damage.

Here is the table after I faux painted it without the acrylic top coat

With acrylic top coat and glass top (to protect the paint and easy cleaning)

Being my first DIY project I am very pleased with the outcome.
