Hello and Happy President’s Day! I don’t normally get all that excited over President’s Day, but I have a 5-year-old boy who thinks any holiday is cause for major celebration, (he burst into our room first thing this morning with a sincerely excited “MOM, DAD, it’s PRESIDENT’S DAY!”) so celebrate we will.
But first, I will leave you with this amazing coffee table transformation from Better After reader Peggy. I’d say she “nailed” it! HA! (Sorry). Not sure how exactly she accomplished this look, as she doesn’t have a blog, but maybe she will enlighten us in the comments! Great job Peggy!

February 20, 2012 at 5:01 PMThanks for posting my coffee table, Lindsey. Sorry I don’t have a tutorial; just getting a before picture is better than I usually do! Maybe I should consider a blog!

February 20, 2012 at 5:35 PMOh my! I would love to know what is on the table top? Is that fabric or paint? PEGGY, you need to give us the details!!
Peggy
February 20, 2012 at 5:55 PMOk, here are some details: the base is painted. The top was removed and upholstered with flannel and faux ostrich vinyl. The decorative tacks hold strips of fabric (long edges folded in to center). I used fabric because I couldn’t find cotton twill tape in a color that worked with the other colors. After the top was finished, I reattached it to the base.
