My husband is the best! He has a second job and drives all over each night delivering pizzas to pay off bills. I love him for his hard work! And sometimes he finds me some sweet deals that have been tossed aside. So, one night he called me and said he found a coffee table that someone had set out by the dumpster and he said I needed to come look at it.
So, I drove over there and couldn’t help myself, I had to take it! It was SO HEAVY!!! I’m not sure how long it was sitting out in the elements but it looked pretty worn. But oh what a challenge! Below is the before and you can see I had already taken out the drawers. My husband had to fix them before I could paint.
Before I gave it new life
Look at the knobs, boring and dated…
Wooden pulls…
After it was all repaired and cleaned up I decided on a color and went to work painting. I love, LOVE to use BB Frosch chalk paint powder in my paint. The main reason is because I can choose any color I want and the other very valid reason is it is much more affordable than the expensive boutique chalk paints. So the color I chose is called Night Club by Behr and it just transformed this entire table. This picture is after the paint but before I waxed and it just looks so much better already!
The BB Frosch finishing wax is my personal favorite because I love the texture and consistancy of it so much! It spreads on like butter and it sets and cures within 15 minutes! Look at the difference from before and after!
I had to get new knobs because the old wooden ones were just boring! But look how cute!!
I love painting furniture and transforming it into something new! This lovely table sold before the wax was set but it sure turned out lovely, didn’t it?
~Paint something,
