Favorite Table Redo and Message Board Creation


I love painting furniture, so I am posting my favorite furniture redo. I bought this little old table from Craigslist for 25 bucks!!

The first thing I did was clean it up. You could tell the previous owners left it in their garage. Then I sanded it and sanded it and sanded it!!! Then I primed it and let it dry over night. I used white paint I had left over from our cabinets redo. Once the table was dry I destressed it by sanding it down by hand. My last step was to use my favorite mocha glaze. I like to rub on the glaze then let it dry and remove a little using a baby wipe. WOW I love how it turned out!!

Then I decided to add a message board above the table. I found a footboard at Goodwill for 5 bucks YAY!! I cut off the legs primed it and spray painted with chalkboard paint and heirloom white. I then distressed it and add my favorite mocha glaze. My last step was to add the white knobs to hang my apron on. Oh my hubby likes to hang his hats there too!!



I had to add some accessories to the table. I found the vase, planter, and cross at Goodwill. I glued a ribbon around the vase then added some fun spring flowers to it. I spray painted the planter a fun spring yellow color and added some green to it. I also sprayed the cross with my heirloom white spraypaint...my favorite color!!
