Just FYI: my shell drawer table

I think my Starfish lamp  (from Ocean Styles) is the perfect finishing touch to this little table!  I wanted to tell you how easy it was to do a presto-change up of this table I've had for years!

Now this is before I was smarter and paid attention to what I was doing so I'll tell you my recommendations rather than what I think I did. 

1. Clean the entire table well and let dry;
2. Give it a light sanding and wipe with damp cloth to get any sand dust.
3. Prime and let dry;
4. Paint; I used sand textured spray paint on the drawer after taping paper around so not to spray anything else but the drawer front.
5. Paint the table; I used the same ACE Paint- Going My Way, as I used on the living room walls;
6. I used the primer in spots and then sanded to distress;
7. I gave it a few days to dry before I added shells to the drawer on top of the sand paint and topped it off with a LandShark beer bottle cap on top of the knob.  FINS UP!
8. Last, you really should, at least, coat or seal the top!

Let it sit for a few days to really dry.

I used it for my printer before moving everything around.

FINS UP!

perfect!!

ta-da!

I think I may have to just add some of my starfish here and it is complete!!
