Shabby chic and the Art of recycling

Today I'm going to start a new project. .. I bought this coffee table for 10 dollars and now I'm going to make it useful again. Let's start this new challenge!
What I need is sandpaper to smooth the surface, white primer, a candle, paintings in 2 different colours and a final varnish to seal.

Follow my progresses!
