When my neighbors gave me their old coffee table, I knew just what I would do with it.
After a quick sand, I sprayed on a mistint from Lowes.
A bit of distressing was all it needed. I had to keep myself in check~ I can go a little crazy on the distressing sometimes almost always, and I didn't want to spend a ton of time on this project! :)
I wiped on and then off some stain in Golden Oak~
It really warmed the paint color up and recovered the places I had sanded to bare wood while I was distressing.
For protection, I sprayed on a couple coats of polycrilic I found in my paint cupboard.
Before~
All ready to go~
Enjoy your day! :)

So pretty, the distressing looks great!
Love the white and the distressing!
that was the perfect choice for this table- very sweet and cottagey! and i love those feet.
Bravo!!! looks like a brand new table!
It looks great! I love all the drawers. Question....do you mix the stain with a glaze or put it on directly? Keep up the good work!
Love it! I'm a fan of the subtle distressing. This is perfect!
It looks great Kim! I love big chunky coffee tables that you can really put your feet on and that hold lots of stuff!

That mistint was not a miss at all!
Great color, great table! Have you invited the neighbors over to see it?
I love this to no end! The drawers are so perfect for storing candles, magazines, remotes, dvds...etc. So awesome!
This table was meant to be that color! And such great storage!
Great job as usual!! I like seeing the very distressed pieces!!

I love it! It looks much better with it's makeover. I love that it has drawers for storage. I have a huge storage problem in our home.
The coffee table turned out great! I am looking for something just like this for our coast house! I will have to keep an eye out now knowing how great it could look.
