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.
I started by sanding the piece with my Black & Decker Orbital Sander.
I cleaned the whole piece with denatured alcohol.
I painted the piece with Folk Art Home Decor Chalk paint in the color Imperial. I gave it total of 2 coats letting it dry between each coat.
I then made a template with recycled paper for the top of the table and the shelf below.
I used the template to cut my superhero comic fabric.
I placed a layer of Mod Podge onto the tops of the table and the shelf below.
I pressed the fabric onto the Mod Podge and into place.
I placed a coat of Mod Podge over the top of the fabric to seal and protect it. Mod Podge goes on white and dries clear.
We love how the table turned out.

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!
Thank you Beverly, and I’m so happy you could join us and our party. I can’t wait to read it!

Thank you so much Michelle – I’m really happy with how it turned out.
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?
Thank you Alexandra, and we’d love to have you! I’ll email you 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
