Vintage Table in House and Canvas Antique Teal

Pier One to Pottery Barn Trunk Makeover

A client brought in this Pier One trunk/coffee table to be painted. They wanted the finished product to be in the style of Pottery Barn furniture. The result was just what they envisioned. Now this updated, custom painted trunk/coffee table is ready to go back home and give them years of service.

I scored this solid wood vintage side table from an estate sale and new it just needed some color to be brought back to life. Step one clean every inch of the piece for a fresh canvas to work on.

Recently I won a paint package from House & Canvas on Instagram and chose this beautiful antique teal color as one of my choices. This is a new Canadian paint line that I have been wanting to try. I applied 2 coats, the paint went on so smooth and covered very well, two thumbs up.

Being a chalk paint it needs to be sealed and since this table may see allot of use I went with 2 clear coats of Varathane semi gloss to give a durable surface with just a slight sheen then to bring out the great detailing I added Daddy Van's black wax all over wiping back to catch in the crevice and details.
