Hello everyone!
For the longest time I've been contemplating painting my coffee table. I had reservations though because I like it as it is. But once the rug was removed from underneath it, I realized that I was finally ready.
The coffee table blended in with the floor too much. So, I decided to just paint the underside of the coffee table and leave the top (which is really old) alone.
I painted it using the same white paint that I've used on other furniture pieces and then used a piece of sand paper to distress it heavily.
This was so easy to do and now I love it even more.
It contrasts with the floor and brings that farmhouse feel into the room that I love.
Hope you're having a good first week of July so far. We are expecting a lot of rain unfortunately. Not sure how that will affect our plans for the 4th of July. We were hoping to spend time with some friends of ours at a firework show and eating out. Guess mother nature has different plans for us. We'll see!
Thanks for stopping by!

You did a wonderful job creating a worn looking finish on your table, and it pops against your wood floors now!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the table! You created the worn, distressed look perfectly and I love how you left the top as is! Pinning.
