I wiped it all down with a liquid sander. Then I used Kilz natural colors spray paint (available at Walmart) - three cans of their black, which I like because it's not a "jet" black.
Then, a little sandpaper to the edges for the "distressed" look (which all my furniture gets, whether I do it on purpose or not!), and voila!
So fun - and now my 70s kitchen has a teensy bit more counter space!
Hmm, what's next?

The island is beautiful, but what I love most is the picture of your girls hugging in the foreground. So cute!
SUch a great and creative idea! I have never heard of liquid sander--thanks for the tip.
That LOOKS GREAT!
Now that is classy - I love it! And so simple!
You know, when you get on a painting roll, it's good to keep going until you crash, cause you never know when you'll feel like doing it again!
Good job and a chic choice of color!
