Coffee Table Re-do REVEALED!

Alright...don't forget to email me about Feature Fridays...I need some more interested folks to keep this thing going!  Email me today about being featured!!!

And on to my coffee table... I know I had mentioned it before, but things have been crazy and I didn

t get a chance to finish it until this weekend!!!

And here it is!!  Ta-da!

Here how you do it:

I bought this table for $8 at a garage sale.  

First sand and paint a base coat of white.

I then gave it two coats of some beautiful green paint that I had ON HAND!  Left over from Jack's nursery.

Once dry, mix your glaze.  I mixed a dark chocolate brown I had again ON HAND and worked in small areas.

I used a foam brush because it soaks up a lot of glaze and you're able to work it really well into all the little crevices...so you're glaze color will show up beautifully!

PS-coffee cans make excellent glaze and paint storage containers!

Apply a generous amount of glaze and then lightly wipe off with a papertowel.

See how that nice chocolate brown comes out against the green?  Eek!  I love it!

When I came across the drawers, I noticed they weren't as banged up as I would like.  No problem!

Randomly beat the heck out of them with the butt of a screw driver and you're set.

Check out the finished look!

I was going to buy new knobs, but I decided to save a little doe and spray paint the existing ones white.  I liked the chic look, plus they stand out against the green!

I love the way this turned out!  And my husband loves it!

Not bad for an $8 table and a $12 can of glaze.  Everything else I already had.

I plan on glazing the new dresser too.  

And I think I may tackle my old bedroom furniture and give our space some new life!!
