Mid-Century Table Before and After
Today is compilation of a few previous posts where a thrift store table was given a totally new look with paint and stain. The table was $12.99 and was mid-century. It was in really bad condition and badly needed a makeover.
The process began with sanding back and finishing the top: (For more Video Tutorials, Subscribe HERE)
I then took off all of the brass and cleaned that up:
And finally, I added a few coats of General Finishes Halcyon Blue.
It was so pretty! However, a customer had a different color in mind. She wanted to purchase it and have me repaint it in pink. So it was back to the drawing board and here it is in pink!
And there you have it! A little table got two big makeovers!
That turned out so nice! I love it when you can redo the wood top without paint. Personally, I like the blue better than the pink, but I guess it depends on where the customer was going to use it for. Great job!
Thanks! I also preferred the blue but it still looked great in pink!
Wow! Delightful…the transformation is just so cool plus the colors are very good in the eyes..love it..
Thank you!
Your work is always fabulous, and this one is nothing short of fabulous
