Sneak Peek of furniture makeover

Posted in January 18th, 2008
Published in furniture fix-ups

I’m so glad I decided to paint the tired old pine table because it’s lookin’ sharp with it’s new black paint job. The downside is that every scratch, dent and nic shows from years of dependable service, five moves plus the terrifying ordeal of being stored in a cellar that flooded. Now it just needs a couple coats of Varathane and it’s good to go.

I’ve also made some progess on the corner unit and it’s coming along slowly. Here is the before with the door off, drawer and shelves out and ready for primer.



And here it is primed with the first coat of “Organic White” painted on the interior. I put the second coat on today and plan to get started on the shelves this weekend. I may even get started on painting the exterior black.

Love it - and the scrapes and dings only add to the charm of the piece! I really like painted furniture.

Hi Shirlee,
Your table looks great painted black. I agree with Manuela, the dings and marks give it character. We have a coffee table that dh made when we were first married. The table has so many marks on it from when our dd was a baby…she’d bang on the table with anything she’d get her hands on. I now look at those marks with lots of love!
Love, Kim
