We have a lot of dark brown in our living room-a dark brown sectional, dark brown entertainment center, dark brown floors. So I knew I wanted a light-colored coffee table. I also wanted the table to be round.
I searched high and low for the right table. I couldn't picture exactly what I wanted & I couldn't find anything that was quite right. Glass didn't seem durable enough. Metal felt too modern. And then...there was this little gem...
$39 at a local thrift store, cute lines, but not light enough. 2 cans of warm yellow spray paint later, and the table is perfect. It lightens up the room and it's sturdy enough to kick your feet up on. After all isn't that what a coffee table is for?
Love it!

Hey, a friend and I are starting a book club and now that you live closer, I'm wondering if you are interested? I think I remember you being a reader. Of course that was before kids:)
That is GORGEOUS!!! What a great find!!! I buy a lot of furniture from Goodwill and refinish/ repaint it :) I love how it makes it so personal and individual...

Wonderful Job :) I hope you are loving your new house! xoxo
I love it! Great transformation. I have lots of brown in my LR as well. I love the idea of brightening up the space with a white table. Nice job!
What paint did you use?
so cute!
Wow! What a change! I love the transformation. We don't get as many great pieces at our Goodwill or Salvation Army. Sure makes me rethink how I look at a worn piece of furniture!
That's wonderful! It's so unique and perfect for your space. I loved the pictures that your sister posted on her site. Your home looks beautiful!
Great thrift store find & refinish :)
