I finally got our table painted!! This table is only several months old, and is from the Target website....everything I can't STAND in a piece of furniture. But it was the right style and is very sturdy, so I felt that given a romunky makeover (I made up a new word- it's romantic+funky,) this table could actually look cute. So I sanded the plasticky finish down and painted it black, then distressed it to look like the paint was peeling. I used sandpaper, but also one of those hand held cheese graters. It worked great! Then I put a coat of clear satin poly on it and it was done. This was actually easy- it only took about 2-3 hours. Here are the pictures!
Before- Blonde (cringe) wood with a shiny plasticky (cringe again) finish:
