An Easy DIY Farmhouse Coffee Table Makeover

A thrift store transformation from blah to this easy DIY farmhouse coffee table makeover.

The question of what you want to own is actually the question of how you want to live your life. -Marie Kondo

THERE SHE WAS JUST A LONELY COFFEE TABLE IN NEED OF A MAKEOVER

You walk into a thrift store and staring back at you is a great coffee table.  It would be so fun to refinish,…………BUT it’s got a hold sticker on it.

A) Walk away disappointed.

B) Talk to a worker to see what the story is.

Of course, B won out!!!  It NEVER hurts to ask!

After talking with an employee, the deadline for the hold had passed awhile ago.  The table was available for purchase……commence happy dancing!💃

With just a little bit of DIYing, this was going to be a beauty!

EASY TABLE MAKEOVER INSTRUCTIONS

1. Lightly sand the legs.
2. Tape off the top area (unless you are painting the whole piece)
3. In a well-ventilated area, spray the legs with light even coats. 
4. Do as many coats as needed to get desired coverage, making sure each coat is dried before applying another.
5. Distress as you like.  This was done with just a little sandpaper.
6. After the piece is completely dried, apply a thin coat of clear wax with a paint/foam brush.

Easy peasy!!

This was one of those pieces you want to keep for yourself so baddddddd, but thankfully, it found a good forever home.
