Coffee Table - minus the coffee

Our good friends made me a coffee table. I've been talking about this coffee table for over a year now and I finally have it in full bloom. Here's my concept....I wanted a basic wood table that I could paint for the seasons, holiday or whatever event is going on in our life. This table was brown in November then I painted it red for Christmas and we've spiced it up a bit with vinyl for Valentine's. The table sits in our family room and I'm hoping it will bring us many more fun memories. I'll keep you posted as the colors and events change. In the end I hope to have a collage of coffee table memories.

What a great idea and a lot of work. The flag table is beautiful. Are sure you really want to cover it? I guess if you get the kids involved that helps? No, sounds like a mess to me. You are just a more fun mom.

Love this idea! I want one, and I love that blue chair in the background. Want one of those too. LOL

That's awesome! Do you sand it down before painting it each time?
