So I bought this on craigslist for $30. Probably could have gotten a cheaper one but I was way to excited to refurnish my first piece of furniture. My husband bought me the black and decker mouse sander (you can see it on the top). I went to town. Sanded the whole thing. It was cheapo paint so it took me a while. I used a primer and paint combo, used a trim roller, and put about 3 coats on. I then went to walmart and bought vinyl decals and placed some on it.
