Shabby Coffee Table Makeover


It was a perfect day for photos. I am in love with this one. Setting everything up in front of my front porch, it's my favorite spot. Wait.....I should be talking about the table!! ;-) 
But, I really do like that photo. 

I found this table at Goodwill. Don't ya just *love* it!! 
I found it unpainted and unloved, hidden between two shoe displays. 

So.....pretty darn simple. And, I would've taken pictures except my camera is kinda out-of-state. Should be arriving in the mail soon. :-)
I sanded. 
I cleaned.
I sprayed.
I sanded again.
Here are some of those sanded spots:
And, I kept the original hardware. I thought it fit the look I was going for. 
And, no.....this is not my day job. :-) So, no worries.
I am a shabby furniture newbie. 

Any good tips for me??

  3. Love it! And yes, good call on keeping the hardware! Sometimes we tend to overthink something and in the process remove some of the original charm -- great job!
