My New Coffee Table Make-Over! April 10, 2013

Do you have a room in your house that doesn’t feel finished?

For me, that would be our living room. I have been wanting for it to be more comfortable.
So, I replaced a glass topped coffee table, with an antique Chinese chest. I wanted something you could put your feet up on. The antique chest missed the mark. It’s now sitting comfortably in the rarely used den.

So, low and behold, I found a wonderful, round, vintage coffee table, recently.

It had a shiny, butter yellow paint job, that needed to go bye-bye.

But, check out those legs! Nice, huh? I knew that the little nicks to the table top would show up real well, if I just painted over it. So, I lightly textured the entire tabletop with Glacage, before Mr. Wonderful sprayed it with Maison Blanche’s beautiful Pecan furniture paint.

Applying the Glacage to the old table top, gave it texture. If I squint real hard, it has almost a suede/leather finish now.

Nothing remains the same, except for change! What about you?

P.S.: There’s still room in Saturday’s 3-Hour Milk Paint Furniture Painting Class, on Saturday at 11 a.m.

Call 916/514-5272, if you’d like to attend!

    A round coffee table is a great choice for your living room, Barbara! I love the finish you chose!
