I’ve been working on smaller projects.
Disclaimer: Today, I have an easy display table for a game board. I understand that some people may not like the content of this post. A friend of mine requested this custom order. Perhaps you could use the idea with your favorite game board.
Back in the Summer I picked up this small table and a Ouija Board (not pictured) at a thrift store.
The table is very versatile, having two sets of shelves, a magazine rack and 3 small drawers.
The little table got a quick makeover of some gray primer during one of my Finish Max marathons.
I chose some wide crown molding to frame out the table, making the cuts on my compound miter saw.
I sprayed it Beluga Black when I sprayed the t.v. console….it’s so easy to do multiple projects at once.
I used Gorilla Wood Glue to attach the game board.
I glued the trim and used my nail gun to secure them.
There was a small gap which I filled with painter’s caulk, and then touched up the paint.
So, there you have it, another simple project checked off, one that could be done with YOUR favorite game board.

November 20, 2013 at 11:51 amI would have never perdicted it would be that nice. did you use tarot to pick your Color? Ithink this is super cute. I might try it for my daughter; maybe with some gold leaf trim and a protection spell embossed in the magic alphabet. –

November 19, 2013 at 4:05 pmBeautiful,- but since I dont allow an ouija board in my house(bad experience with one as a young adult) it would have to be a Scrabble board!!!
Awesome concept tho!!

November 19, 2013 at 3:43 pmStay the double hockey sticks away from ouija boards…these things are really demonic..they open the door to some very unwanted activity in the home and in the lives of those who mess with them.
That being said…the table is a nice idea for other, family oriented and ‘safe’ games such as monopoly.

November 19, 2013 at 9:08 amI LOVE how the table turned out……but I would NEVER allow a Ouija board in my house, any other game would be fine!!
Nancy says
November 19, 2013 at 9:00 amI just love that table! What a clever idea that came out beautiful!
Joy says
November 19, 2013 at 8:54 amI have 2 end tables much like this one and I would love to do the paint effect minus the game board of course, could you please give step by step instructions from beginning of primer to the end result? I am assuming you sanded the stand first??? joyghoover@aol.com
gail@myrepurposedlife.net says
November 19, 2013 at 6:08 pmI didn’t sand first. I just used the very flat DIY Chalk Paint primer, then the latex on top of it.

November 19, 2013 at 6:28 amCan I just tell you how much I love this? I have a vintage Ouija board I decorate with at Halloween, but if I needed a little table…this would be it!
