Here's how to transform a dark, rather scuffed up old coffee table. After I painted it an antique white, I added photocopied images from an old dictionary I found. I dry brushed a soft gray and white paint randomly across the words to obscure them a bit so they would look more 'arty'. Is that a word? Then I glazed the entire piece with a very thin wash of brown to antique it down a bit. Since this is a functional surface and needs to withstand coffee cups, occasional spills, etc... I gave it a couple of coats of a satin urethane. Easy breezy! Hope you like it.
