Before & After: Coffee Table

Same old story:

I found this piece of furniture with great lines, great hardware and great potential but it needed a little help.

I sanded it down, painted the top and re-stained the base.

One of the best things about this table is the storage. If company is coming over, you can shove everything inside, close the top and no one will ever know how cluttered your living room was a few moments ago.

This is my first time mixing stain and paint on the same piece of furniture. What do you think?

Awesome! Your paint job is immaculate! The piece of course looks fantastic, but I'm in complete amazement at how clean and perfect the lines are!! Teach me your ways wise one!

This piece looks so amazing! It's such a clever way to stash the remotes and other things that aren't so pretty. You did an amazing job!

Rachel, I love it! The paint and stain combo came out beautifully. Nice work! I love the Missoni ballet flats and the Apple TV remote too ;)
