Here is the before...
It wasn't in terrible shape but the finish on the top just wasn't holding up well in our house, with two toddlers and three dogs! So one day, sort of spur of the moment, I decided I would sand down and restain the top and paint the base white. I went to work with my sander only to discover that what I thought was a solid wood coffee table was only partially wood and mostly laminate! At this point I was sure I had ruined my coffee table forever! I love painted furniture but I really wanted to stain the top of this piece! I decided to just stain the top to see what would happen, thinking I would most likely end up painting over it and this is what happened...
I used my favorite stain for the moment (a custom mix of grey and walnut). I've learned to like my coffee table I think the stain on the laminate gives it a rustic feel. Almost like I found old barn wood, with some parts of the wood bleached from the sun, and built a coffee table with it! I love that painting furniture doesn't always work out like you plan it to, just like life some of the best things aren't planned! Have you ever had a piece of furniture not work out like you planned?
I love love love that look! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa!

ReplyDeleteLove how it turned out! Looks great :) I'm on the hunt to find a coffee table at a garage sale or else my husband "has" to build us one heehee! Love the two different colours on yours!

There are definitely not enough hours in the day for all the projects we can think up! I love your blog by the way!
DeleteI think EVERY time I paint a piece it works out differently than I plan. Its the nature of it I guess! Doesn't mean its bad, just different! Looks like yours turned out great! I love your tip on mixing stain. --Found you through the Motivational Monday Linky party!
