Table fixation

My friend Carly gave me this awesome book for my birthday, The Big-Ass Book of Crafts. In the book, there are some cool ways to alter tables to make them more aesthetically pleasing. Last weekend, I took this table that my friend Jeff gave me and decided to give it a makeover.

Tessa, Lauren and I went to Michael's, the craft store, and got some spray paint and some
decoupage glue stuff. The spray painting was semi-successful in that I definitely did not buy enough spray paint.
So then began the task of painting it.
When that was done, it was time to add the images. I took some from Rolling Stone and Nylon just for fun. In the book, it told me to use Minwax and polyurethane coats to protect the table but instead, I used the decoupage...mostly because the lady at Michael's who I conferred with said that it would work fine that way.
The final result which you can click to enlarge. Thanks to Lauren and Tessa who helped out a lot!
