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.
