Do you ever just need a change? Well, I do. My room is sort of small, well...at the very least it is jam-packed with furniture so I am limited as to what I can move around and where. With that said, I got the urge to change my guided reading table. It is bright yellow...and had had some abuse/paint/stains. I was at TJ Maxx the other day and saw this patterned self adhesive shelf liner- SOLD. I used my prep time today to cover my yellow table to now look like this:
Ignore the mess and clutter (no, I am not a hoarder)... and ignore the animal print cover on the chair (left over from Jungle theme..lol)
The print looks darker in the pics than it really is.
Below is what the table looked like before. Of course, the liner is removable and leaves no residue. And in this picture, it looks A LOT cleaner than it is in reality..lol
The two rolls of shelf liner were only $5.99! It took almost both rolls from the pack, but a new (looking) table for less than 6 bucks...now that's a deal!
Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!! YAY!
I love it! So cute :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good! I may need to do that soon.

Oh my goodness, what a totally great idea! I put fabric over a table in my room, and that staple gun and I had a fight, but I think he won! I may have to try this soon.

Oh my gosh! I have the same yellow table. I just got it and really regret getting yellow. It shows every little finger print and pencil mark. It makes me crazy! I have to wipe it down every day. I would love to cover it, but since it is brand new I think my principal would have a cow if I did! I'll have to give it some time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this link with me, Jennifer! I was just in TJ Maxx the other day and saw some cool shelf liner...now I must go there after school tomorrow!

Cool table! How clever... I too teach first grade in the smallest room ever, and I can't get rid of any of the much needed furniture. Thanks for going for it then sharing the outcome. I am now not so nervous to try this!
ReplyDeleteI love that you took the time to share this! I too teach first grade in a very small classroom with way too much furniture that I can't get rid of! I will have to try this! Thanks so much for snapping a photo of the amazing transformation!
