POWW 105: A Furniture Link Party

September 11, 2012 by Cassie 37 Comments

Happy POWW!  It’s that time of the week we all get together to share our latest furniture creations and recreations!  I always look forward to going through your links.

Today, I have a very simple little coffee table makeover to share.  I found this table at my local thrift shop and love it’s clean lines and sweet shape.  I also loved the pretty design on the table top.

As you can see from the picture above, I got out my Anne Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey.  I used my Purdy angled brush so that I didn’t have to tape an edges, and just used a careful hand to paint around the table top, and paint the base.  Then I lightly distressed it and finished it with a clear paste wax.

To refresh the table top I mixed one part lemon oil with one part white vinegar and just wiped it onto the table top.  It helps clean and refresh, giving it a warmer glow.  The top was not perfect, but I knew I would be slightly distressing the paint, so I didn’t want it to be too pristine.

This makeover was sweet and simple, just like the subject!

    Love how your table turned out – beautiful job ( I’m really impressed you didn’t use tape – even with a purdy I don’t trust myself that much lol )
    Thanks so much for hosting!

    Pretty – I like that you left the top unpainted with that nice detail. Thank you for the tip on the lemon oil and vinegar – I will try that!

    I love that little table. If I lived closer, I would buy it because mine is WAY too big for my small living room :/ & that one would be perf! I am on the hunt! You are awesome, and one day I will actually have something to link up, you’ll see 😉 xo

    I’ve been reading your blog for a little while and never commented. I love seeing your furniture re-dos!! I was just curious, do you sell all the furniture you make over when you’re done with it? If not, what do you do with it?
