This vintage end table pair needed an update badly. They had been covered with glass their whole existence but this had caused fading to the original stain color.
You can see just how much when the hardware was removed!! Just look at how the sun fades pieces over time.
After the hardware was removed, the tables were scrubbed clean and ready for their makeover.
The customer had seen the pair of custom end tables I did last summer in a Hollywood glam look and was waiting for the perfect french provincial set to come my way. When she saw I had found a set from an estate sale, she ordered them finished in the same look.
Even with a good cleaning, vintage furniture can bleed thru like a few areas on these tables. The answer is to spray with Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac. This stops bleed thru in its tracks and once it dries you continue to paint as normal. For this set I went with 3 coats of the lovely Champlain color in total.
Now to update the old hardware, first step was to scrub it well and leave to dry.
For the added Hollywood glam effects, I used metallic paint in light and dark silver to enhance the details.
