My sister no longer had room for the jumbo curvy coffee table and offered it to me to relove and rehome. Of course I said yes.


To make painting easier I removed the top after safely storing the beveled glass.

After a good cleaning with Dixie Belle white lightening cleaner in soapy water to be sure the years of fingerprints and stickies were gone it received a light sanding all over. Usually I grab a Dixie Belle sanding sponge but I also have a stack of "unsticky" orbital sanding papers I use too. Any ding was sanded smooth and Dixie Belle mud was added in any deep marks with a mud spatula then sanded too.

This light sanding also allows the paint to stick better and is an important step when using Dixie Belle silk paint.


This new Dixie Belle silk paint line is an all in one paint; primer, paint and top coat all in one. It does however need a bit more tooth to grab on to hence the sanding step and it is suggested to apply with a synthetic brush. I chose to use Dixie Belle synthetic brush in flat medium.


Anchor; a rich black was the color I used for this beauty. Click HERE to see more projects done in this fabulous classic color.


Seeing the original finish was dark and being a dark paint only 2 coats were needed for a nice even coat.


When I brought the pieces inside to assemble again I found the top corner edges were missed but this was an easy remedy. Grabbing a small artist brush and the tub of paint I repeated 2 coats and all was perfect.


The glass was cleaned and set back in place and this coffee table has a fresh new look.


sleek and smooth


classic and modern

    This coffee table was nice beforehand but that black paint just makes it look like a new piece! Looks so good! I haven't used Dixie Bell Paint yet but I am learning so much from your posts. #HomeMattersParty
