Coffee Table Makeover

It seems to be table makeover time here in south Mississippi.   After brightening up my kitchen table, I decided it was time to do the same to my coffee table.


Here is the before.


Sad.

I really like the shape/size of it, and it was gorgeous in my all-black-furniture apartment in grad school. 

But it is time for an update.  The paint had been scuffed during several moves, and I'm always in the mood for a change.


No secret techiques or tricks though.  I just put two coats of white paint on it, which was just enough to wash the black away but still let a little peak through for a weathered look (which luckily, my husband loves).



I used the same no-sew technique here to whip up a miniature table runner out of yellow toile and light green burlap.



Rush supervised. I guess Amos had the day off.




The table only cost $30 at a junk/antique shop, so it's going to make the rounds with me for a long time!
