This simple DIY project is for anyone who is looking for a fun way to spruce up a table.

I owned this cheap, small table for several years. I never did anything with it, so this week was the perfect opportunity to finally put it to some use.

I bought some chalkboard paint and primer to turn the table into something my son could write on in his room.

I washed and dried the table to remove all dirt and dust. Next, I took the table outside to begin the priming and painting process.

I sprayed several coats of the chalkboard paint onto the table, letting each coat dry for about an hour. Finally, after  24 hours, I was able to start writing on the table with chalk.
