DIY Superhero Comic Side Table Makeover

Furniture

Our family loves superheros and my son wanted to update his room. I found this little old table on Facebook Marketplace for $10, and with a little paint, superheros, and a little love we gave this side table a makeover.

Here's the original side table - clearly it had been well used and needed a little love.

    What a fun table project! It looks great! I linked up Gloria’s master bedroom vanity makeover that turned out to be one of our most daunting furniture makeovers. Also, Happy Birthday!

    What a unique piece! I am envisioning making matching pieces with other existing furniture. My mom was always great at making everything so cohesive when she would redo my room – I’m trying to be more like that. I’d like to join this blog hop – can you email me more info?

    An involved project that would be hard to do here in the condo. When I’m at home in my float cabin I’ve upscaled thrift store purchases to fill in small spaces and give me more storage. – Margy
