Hey there friends...hope your all having a great week!
We hit 50 degrees today:)
We hit 50 degrees today:)
The piece that I'm showing you today does not belong to me...I worked on this piece for one of my cousins.
She had this table in her downstairs family room.
She had this table in her downstairs family room.
It was pretty beat up...she was going to get rid of it until I told her we can make it pretty again with a little paint.
Here's the before...
She decided on black so I used my Masion Blanche paint in Wrought Iron again and then just clear waxed it. I lightly distressed all the edges.
Soooooo much better right!
It just goes to show how much paint can transform a piece no matter what the condition...and make it pretty again.
She loves the way it came out and she's so happy she didn't get rid of it!

Oh, my goodness, Martina, this turned out so lovely! What a nice cousin you are to make over the table. I know your cousin will love it!
Be a sweetie,

Love how you brought the table back to life, I'm sure she is so happy.
Yes, there is a blue stripe on the jug, thanks so much for helping me out with the suggestion for shades from PB.
It looks fantastic! How sweet of you to help her with it and give it new life.

What a great refresh, Martina! It looks like something you'd see at Pottery Barn. I'll bet your cousin is glad she let you paint it. It looks like a totally new table now.
paint is my best friend. I love that color
It's very nice, so worth the work!
It looks fantastic!! I bet she loves it!!!!!
Kristi
Wow! That looks fantastic. Totally refreshed and new. You did a great job!
Yep, so much better :) I bet your cuz loved it.
It looks great, Martina! I have a coffee table in our basement with the same type of finish and wear and tear ~ now I feel more motivated to give it a paint job.
Martina, you did a fabulous job transforming the coffee table! I'm sure your cousin was delighted!

What a transformation, great job Martina. I love the distressing around the edges, well done. Have a lovely weekend! xo, Liz
What a transformation. You turned an ugly table into a great piece that anyone would want to have in their home. I haven't used Maison Blanche. Is it a chalk paint like Annie Sloan?
I love it, what a fabulous transformation. Love the black. Hugs, Marty
Oh I can see why she loves it as it is beautiful...just love it...you did a fantastic job Martina...Have a great weekend!
When it hits 50 degrees here I might just go out to the garage and paint a table! Won't be anytime soon I'm afraid, so it's a good thing I don't have a friends table to get done.
Look great Martina! Black was a good choice!!
It amazes me to see before and after shots of ugly ducklings. You did a beautiful job on the piece.
What a difference Martina! You see these style of tables at the thrift stores often for a song and this is a great idea for giving them a new life. Yours caught my eye over at the Furniture Feature Friday Party.

I had that exact table, back around 1988! It went perfectly with our massive sectional sofa and brass accessories. I was only too glad to get rid of it about ten years ago but now I'm wishing I could just give it a makeover. I never knew that tacky table had potential! Excellent job!
It's amazing what a little paint can do!
Great transformation!
It looks fabulous Martina!
Wow - it's amazing what paint can do. Great job on the coffee table.
Looks great! The table has a great shape to it… glad you didn't let her throw it away :)
Great makeover. A little paint gave it a new life!
Have a great weekend. Hugs
Great job Martina. You made a brand new table with this piece. Gotta love paint!

That look so great! Paint totally transformed it!
Fantastic makeover Martina. You have saved this beautifully styled table and made it a beauty to look at.
What a wonderful job Martina. It doesn't look like the same table. Who carries the paint you chose ?
Beautiful transformation Martina!
