I found this table on Craigslist for $12. I sanded it all down and spray painted the legs black. Then I painted the top of the table with chalkboard spray paint. After 3 unsuccessful coats (i.e. uneven coverage and drips) I took a trip to Joanns and purchased some chalkboard paint (that you paint on with a brush, not spray on). Should have done this in the first place. It went on SO much easier. And now we have a fun little table in the front room of our house that Leah can draw on. And when she's done, you just wipe it down, and it's a cute little black table (it looks better in person then the pictures show) Oh, and one thing I learned from this little project.... "dustless" chalk is a lie. There is no such thing :)
