"new" coffee table

 so we've been saying for months that we need a new coffee table... this one's surface is all bubbly for some reason (water damage or something? who knows). it's a cheap laminate/particle board ikea table we've had for years, and it has been on it's way out for a while... but i saw this DIY on a beautiful mess forever ago, and finally thought we should do it to this one! i love how it turned out, and it was SO EASY. just masked off what i didn't want painted, taped down a large piece of lace (thanks, April!) and spray-painted it! and the new visual texture totally hides those surface imperfections! yay!

joey wasted no time in "trying out" the new table as a race track ;)
