White Chic Coffee Table

Hello everyone, I hope you are having wonderful spring!!!

I've done a lot of furniture makeovers but never done anything in white.

Can you believe it?

Refinished (and for me, distressed) white furniture has such a classic look
and I love them so much,
especially when I see all the lovely white furniture on the Internet
it always makes me want to grab a brush and start painting!!

However, I've always chosen colors other than white...I don't know why....

But this time, I finally did a makeover in white :)

It started out like this.

Good old sturdy coffee table which had seen better days.

To tell you the truth, I first decided to paint it in black with silver detailing.

.......and I hated it!!! It looked like a piece from the 80's.....lol

So I repainted white over and....I forgot to take any during photos so....

Here's the finished product :)

White color is Forget Me Not from General Paint
( I'm a member so I can have the paint 20% off, even if it's on sale)
and the grey is custom color.

I made both into my usual homemade chalk paint.
Before painting, I lightly sanded the entire piece to have a smooth surface.
I painted it, distressed it, then applied polyurethane on the flat surface
and hand waxed the entire table.

Stencils on top and the bottom

                                              

                                 



Distressed front,edges and corners :)

Here's a little bit of color,

it's Carribean Blue from FAT Paint.

I just bought the paint and had to try it!

Front door slides to sides for more storage.

I know...it's a picture heavy post :)

↑This is the back,same look as the front.

 

My kids all like how this coffee table has turned out and say 

we should keep it in our living room :)

( It's always good to hear your own kids like what you do!)

But I like this coffee table and this one has broken chicken wire front

so I can't sell it ( it's only my excuse to keep it)....

I'm selling this one and hopefully someone will love it:)

Have a great week everybody!!!
