Over the weekend, I gave my coffee table a makeover.
You see, my table started out looking like this. A $12.99 thrift store find that had definitely seen better days.
Much better after a little sanding, staining and a few coats of polyurethane.
But 4 years later I grew tired of the color. It's a functional, sturdy piece of furniture so I didn't want to replace it. I knew I could easily update it with paint.
Using my HomeRight Finish Max Pro Fine Finish Sprayer made this project quick and easy.
I bought a gallon of interior Oops Paint at Home Depot.
I was able to buy some great paint for a much cheaper price.
Thin the paint with water and mix well before spraying.
I painted my table outside. It made it much easier for clean up.
Elevate the legs with a few bricks!
Painting with the HomeRight Finish Max Pro Fine Finish Sprayer was much faster than using a brush or roller, with perfectly smooth results.
Most important tip, clean your paint sprayer immediately after each use. I used my garden hose for fast clean up.
I love the new color! It's just my style and perfect for this space.
We also eat, drink and put our feet up on the coffee table.
To prevent water rings, I make coasters easily accessible.
I hope this makeover inspires you to give new life to an old piece of furniture as well.
I'm excited about my new paint sprayer! It will make future paint projects so much simpler and faster.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it Brandi. I didn't get around to using mine this weekend, and the time change makes it so hard to beat the dark. Hopefully I use mine this upcoming weekend!

What a gorgeous transformation! I love buying oops paint. I always look for it at Home Depot. Such a nice table and I love how it's styled.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Please don't make me refinish any more furniture though. I am upholstered and painted out. I have 2 more coats of poly to put on my coffee table and then I am through until at least after Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love it I have an old end table that I was going to throw away you have given it life. It thanks you lol
ReplyDeleteBrandi your table looks beautiful, love the color.
ReplyDeleteAnother great makeover! Well done, Brandi, it looks fantastic

It looks so much better and you would have never known you got it at a thrift store.
ReplyDeleteNailed it! You made it yours & it looks fab, B!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE everything about this table and the decor on top and bottom! Great color and did you have to put some kind of protective coat over the paint?
ReplyDeleteThe table looks great. So nice that you could take an existing table and freshen it up. Very thrifty. :) xxx ~ Nancy
ReplyDeleteLove this table and the outcome is beautiful. So great to do with the sprayer. I've painted a million makeovers for customers in my time, but never with a sprayer. It would have made the process so much easier.
ReplyDeleteLove the color and it looks great in your room.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow what a result! Looks like brand new!
ReplyDeleteMygenerouslife.blogspot.com
Wow! What a perfect looking table! Are those wood slice coasters too? Love them!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many pieces in my head that I feel need a new look with paint! Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteIt's brand new now. Love the color!
ReplyDeleteBrandi,
ReplyDeleteYour table looks fantastic. You did a great job on it. I really like the stain. I prefer the darker wood, and this is rich looking. A combination of hard work and a little love, and now look at it!
Happy Thanksgiving, my friend.

NICE JOB! I will have to purchase the HomeRight machine for a weekend job. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteLinda
Incredible makeover! One of the most dramatic I've seen in a while! From drab (at the thrift store) to fab with your creativity and patience. When a piece of furniture is sturdy and in relatively good shape, there's no reason to ditch it. I love it that you took the initiative to just update it by changing the color and patina. The sprayer seems to have made the job a breeze!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for using coasters!!! I thought I was the only one who still had that little rule going on in her house!! :-)
Enjoy your new table! I can't wait to see what else you do with your sprayer. If you're just looking for something to do, I'll send you my address! :-)
Love your table's new look Brandi - I've heard such great things about their paint sprayers!
ReplyDeleteI just love a design re-do. This coffee tables came out amazing. You've done a wonderful job. I truly enjoyed this post
ReplyDeleteIncredible, this looks brand new:) I would like to paint one of my brown chairs white, but I'm feeling too intimidated by the sanding procedure, do I really have to sand before i paint?
ReplyDeleteit looks amazing and the color is wonderful
ReplyDeleteBrandi, God has really blessed you with a gift of decorating and interior (and exterior) design. I really love reading your blog! And am so very proud of you! Saw the post about your Christmas décor on the Home Depot blog...AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteBrandi, great job. Oh how I love oops paint and leftovers on Craigslist. I have a question for you... how has your sprayer held up? Was this the first time using it or have you had it for a while?
ReplyDeleteHi Brandi,
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you that you were invited to join the Home Depot Challenge! How exciting! I can't wait to see what you received . . . and then what you do with it!
You did a great job on your coffee table! I love the color you chose! Great choice :0) It also compliments your brown couches quite nice!
Sending you and your family warm wishes for a Happy, Happy Thanksgiving,
Suzanne
