What a project! When you see something and think it would look great painted white, it seems so easy. I picked up these two, very worn end tables and new a coat of creamy white paint and some scuffed up edges would really bring them back to life.
Here is what they looked like before:
And after:
The process:
- Gently sand with a sanding block
- 1 heavy coat of Zinsser Cover Stain Oil Based Primer
- 1 coat of creamy white paint
- Sand the edges down as much or as little as you would like to give it a distressed look
- Glaze (optional, I didn't not glaze these)
- 1 coat of water based poly protective top coat
Sounds easy, right? I suppose it was, just took a little longer than expected. I hope to have my sprayer up and working soon which really would've helped with this project. Oh well, they are done:)
Now these are perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love how paint and some elbow grease can transform items :)
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing what a little (or a lot!) of elbow grease, talent (of course) and some paint can accomplish! These are beauties!
ReplyDeleteDid you use oil based paint or latex paint?
ReplyDeleteI used oil based primer with latex paint. The protective coat is very necessary as latex paint is a little softer. Allow ample drying time!
