Before and After: Coffee Table

I went a little crazy with re-doing things before I moved. As you know I painted my bar cart and chinoiserie bird cages and also my coffee table. I still need to do my bamboo plant stand and my bamboo chairs, but that is another story for another day.


Anyway, I have always loved glass top, brass coffee tables. I originally bought my glass top coffee table with the intention of painting it a more neutral color but just never got around to it until last month. The table is timeless when it comes to style, but the color did not match my new abode's decor. However, this was not a problem a little spray paint could not fix! I was pleasantly surprised to find out my preferred color of spray paint was available in a special primer/paint bottle when I visited Home Depot. I snatched two bottles and went home and got to work. I sprayed on one coat one evening and then added an additional coat for maximum coverage (the brown took more coverage as you can guess) the next night.


Ta-da:


The result is fabulous and is the exact look I was going for! My steal of a coffee table has been revamped and looks like it could be on a page of a magazine. Oh, the wonders of spray paint!
