I picked this antique side table up from an estate sale, it is a great size, perfect by a chair with a plant, some books and a coffee cup.
The unique wood base would be lovely painted pretty but the laminated top and metal ring needed a change up for sure.
Once the metal ring was off, the layers of wood were exposed and rough. I tried experimenting adding the embossing paste I had left over from my faux tin tiles carefully around the edge. (above it is the light grey around edge) Once it dried I sanded it smooth.
I was not really happy with the edge filled and painted. Deciding which new
Rustoleum metallic spray paint color I chose the
flat soft iron (L) to keep the ring similar tone to the top but with a bit of shine. The titanium silver (R) will be saved for another project.
Multiple coats of the metallic spray paint were applied giving the metal ring a pretty new look.
Over the light grey paint, Fusion's black wax was applied and now all 3 tables are a "matching" farmhouse table collection.

I am really loving this paint! We have a really old coffee table that I have been wanting to refinish for about 4 years. I am hesitant after my whole “let’s just paint our dressers without sanding or priming” phase. Oh to be 20 again and so full of hope.
ReplyDeletetruly there is no for sure "no sand" paint, all depends on the condition of the piece. What you see on the finish will show thru the paint so that too depends on the finish you want to achieve. But with proper prep, painting a piece can give a whole new look ;)
