If you've got a table that you can't bear to part with, there are ways to make it look almost as good as new. Sharon shows you how, with a little creativity, you can camouflage those unsightly scratches and nicks with a little fabric and a little loving care.

| Q. |
|
Why take the time to restore an old table? |
|
 |
| A. |
|
Why not?! You can create "expensive" looks inexpensively to fit every room in your home. A lot of these types of projects are fun - you can even do them with your kids. |

Three Different Ways to Give
An Old Table Top a New Look |
 |
|
|
Canvas |
|
|
You can take the time to handpaint the canvas with acrylics or simple fabric paints; stamps and sponges can be used to write or squirt onto sponges; canvas alone looks nice . |

|
|
|
|
Brushed Denim |
|
|
|
|
Totally different look; use brass nail heads and hammer along the edges; 7/8 yard of cloth |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Heavyweight Fabric |
|
|
A sturdier idea; bringing a check/woven pattern to staple into place
