Wow, this little vintage end table was perfect to buy and save! Some veneer was missing, and the leather top was torn, but yes I could do something!!!
I removed all the leather and one layer of veneer, a lot of delicate scraping to protect the surface underneath! I distressed the piece with white and added a gold patina on top. The table top was decoupaged with vintage postcards and travel paper and I am so happy to give this vintage end table on wheels with a drawer a new life, she will travel on!!!!

I totally love this! I have a small table with the leather middle...I've painted it but never knew what to do with the top because of the leather. Thanks for sharing your great project!

I love it! Isn't it fun to decoupage? And so forgiving of all kinds of dents and dings! That paper is awesome too...I used that same paper to cover a huge black table in Florida that needed an intervention. Your table turned out great. The result is so much better than the original piece. I had been so stumped on what to do with my dining table.The inspiration hit when I was shopping Home Goods. You can see that similar transformation here. http://cottagebeachhouse.blogspot.com/2011/04/cottage-beach-house-table-intervention.html
