The underside of a dining table is usually unfinished wood--a perfect blank canvas. Remove a few screws & flip your table top so that the underside becomes the new top side. You can stain it or paint it or both. Then, prime & paint the legs. Finally, distress it all with whatever you have laying around--sand paper, a hammer, a wire brush, etc. You can use a wipe on polyurethane or quick dry sealer to add durability, but the beauty of this style of table is that the more wear it endures, the better it looks. ![]() IKEA often has large pieces of wood & foam in their As-Is section.

This entire project costs under $20 with all supplies & takes about an hour. |
