Repaint Furniture for a New Look

Have you seen my room makeover before and after? Showing the before and after photos was so much fun I had to make a separate post for this little side table that I repainted as part of the project:

I’ve had this table for about eight years. I got it on the curb where someone had left it for trash. I stack magazine and catalogs in the open space so it’s been a useful item despite its worn whitewashed finish.

Using leftover Nautica paint from the room redo, I hand painted the table Arctic Tern (it’s a grayed white) with Flipper Jade accents. This interior accent color is my favorite part:

This project was ridiculously easy. I did two coats of paint, letting it dry one day in between, and it was done! The leftover paint gave this previously sad little piece of furniture a new life as a crisp, polished room accent. If you’re looking for a way to spruce up a piece of furniture quickly, all it takes is a fresh coat of paint. It’s like getting a whole new piece of furniture without the cost!

Love this doily rug? This one has since sold out, but you can get a similar doily rug from Anthropologie in two different sizes and it is so cute.
