Painted End Table ~ a Makeover ~ 3rd Time's a Charm(er)


Here's our little roadside rescue end table.

It came home with us looking like this:


but it had so much potential...


I thought I would give it some color and try my hand at spray painting.  

So it became this:


And we loved the rich blue.  For a time.

Eventually I wanted to use it in another space and the blue just wouldn't work.

So I gave it a couple coats of white paint,

then added in some Maison Blanche in Cobblestone giving it an entirely new look...



A quick coating of wax with a bit of dark stain mixed in gave it a little bit of aged character:


It's neutral enough now to go in almost any room in my home. 
This is good because if you know me you know I love to move things around...a lot.  :)


For now it finishes off this space nicely.


It definitely needs some oil rubbed bronze on those little knobs for some contrast.  
I'm trying to decide if I want to give it a monogram on the door front.  
The white raised panel seems to be asking for something but I ran out of the Cobblestone color so I couldn't finish it with that even if I'd wanted.  
What do you think?  Gold on the edges of the door panel?  
A Monogrammed Letter for our last name?  Any other suggestions?  
Thanks!

  7. Loving it! That color is amazing; I haven't heard of it. I say MONOGRAM! But maybe in a light neutral a few shades darker than the table but not black? Great job!
    I’m visiting from Six Sisters Linky. I hope you can stop by my blog and leave a comment, too!

  19. Sherry, I really like the whole room! And I agree- I would've enjoyed the blue for awhile but the new colors are perfect for your space. I would say maybe add a bit of gold to the edges if you want. I am your newest blog follower. :)

  20. I LOVE the final makeover! It's so neat that you added "legs" to the piece! I think the monogram is a great idea or maybe even a silhouette. Great job!
