My mom brought me this combination end/side table magazine rack from a neighbor. Seeing it was a solid multi-functional piece I knew a relove was in order.

I sanded the top lightly then gave the whole piece a good wipe down to prep the surface for great paint adhesion. I recently had gotten a sample from
Country Chic Paint they were offering last month in the limited collection color called Spirited. In the past the sample sizes were 4 oz but this new bottle shape holds only 2 oz. I was not sure it would cover this entire piece but decided to give it a try.
To extend it just a bit I added some water to give it more of a translucent stain coverage which worked well on the oak.
A second coat as well with the added water covered every surface twice except the magazine rack back side which I painted a fun cranberry color from
Fusion Mineral Paint.
A little distressing on the edges was followed by a coat of
Country Chic Paint clear wax over all the surfaces. While the clear was still "wet", I added their antiquing wax to the edges and crevices to deepen the teal color and give the piece age and dimension.

The original hardware needed an update too. I was torn between
Krylon spray paint copper or Rustoleum oil rubbed bronze so put a poll on my Instagram page. It was divided pretty equal so I went with
Krylon's copper which was just a few votes ahead.
Once all back together, here it is
