Posh Perfection; Table makeover; Guest
This is a party highlight from a few weeks ago, but it is just so perfect I thought I would show you. This is a good reminder that just updating one piece or two in a room can really do a lot for the space, without a ton of effort. Shannon at Posh Pieces did this:
I finished my table and I am totally in-love with it!
I finished my table and I am totally in-love with it!
Here’s the story: I got it on craigslist for FREE with a matching side table, also for FREE. I thought when I got it that I would paint it and maybe sell it, because I didn’t really NEED a coffee table. I always thought that I would have an ottoman in my front room, and not a coffee table. However, I am totally loving this table now, and although it doesn’t totally go with my living room, its staying for a while until I decide.
I decided to go with white, instead of the heirloom white. Thanks again everyone for your advice on the color.
I only sanded a little to get the top coat off, and then I applied a good coat of Zinsser Primer.
Here is the Before
Ugly right?
Here it is today!
I used Rustoleum Black in Semi-gloss on the hardware
Do you love the detail as much as me?
So beautiful! Oops,, looks like i missed an area under the lip. 🙂
You can tell in the back I have a lot of dark furniture. I like how the table helps to brighten the space, but at the same time I am worried hat its too bright for the space. My dinning room, which is 5 feet away has a black distressed table and matching chairs. I also have a dark finished console table in my entry… is this going to be too much of a contrast?
Do you love it as much as I do? Not bad for a free table!
>I think it looks great. You have a nice light neutral on the wall, and your trim is a fresh crisp, white.
I think it will go a long way toward brightening things up. You can always accessorize with a few deeper pieces on top (a darker woven basket or box for remotes) or a couple of candleholders.
GREAT SCORE!
