Farmhouse coffee table makeover using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Just paint the base by Our Southern Home #chalkpaint

Today is the day……Themed Furniture Makeover Day!

This month's theme is Two Tone.

I'm sharing my Farmhouse Coffee Table Makeover.

It's a simple change that really helped to brighten the rather dark space.

I only painted the base to give this table a fresh new look. 

New painted furniture theme each month!

Below you will find all the other two toned furniture projects from my monthly group! Be sure to visit them all!

Here it is in place before I painted it. 

Disclaimer: This is a playroom that the kids are in charge of cleaning! It's not the most styled place in the house.

Here is a full before. This is a great table. Back when I was still teaching elementary school, I had a once per week cleaning lady. Such a sweet lady. Her husband loved to do woodworking. She was always asking if he could make me something. One day, I took her up on it. I commissioned him to build me a farmhouse styled coffee table. It is heavy and well-made. The stain is not my favorite, but I love it!

It looks so fresh now!

I painted just the base in a custom mix of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White with a touch of Pure White.

I applied 3 coats.

I distressed in random areas paying more attention to the edges.

I vacuumed up the sanding dust with the hand-held attachment.

I then applied 1 coat of clear wax and buffed to a slight sheen.

I love it!!!

New furniture is not an option. 

It has kind of sparked me wanting to do a few other changes. 

The love seat has a denim slipcover. The love seat was my mom's from the early 70s.

I'd love to add a denim cover to the couch and change-up the pillows with some quick envelope pillows.

Crazy how painting a coffee table can create more projects!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're inspired!

I’d love for you to follow on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram! See ya there!

    It’s beautiful! For bottom half, did you use a dark color before applying the white?

      The entire table was originally stained the same color. I just painted the base. Thanks!

    Your table looks great! I have one that belonged to my aunt. It’s pretty beat up and in need of a make-over. I love your dark top and white bottom.

    Amazing! Excellent work you did with those pieces of furniture. You’re truly an inspiration to everyone. From plain looking coffee table into a classy and modern accent, I really like how it turned out. This is a perfect sample of furniture makeovers. I will surely share this one.

    Wow, it looks great. It’s crazy how projects can snowball just from redoing one thing. 🙂
    Anyway, I love how the table looks – it’s the perfect inspiration for my farmhouse dining table…I can see what mine would look like. Hm, now to convince hubby.

    That is a well-built table (lucky you!)… it reminds me of the one we built in class at Haven with Ana White’s plans. You had a great idea to paint the base of it to lighten it up! Love Old White 🙂 Also I love that you still have a “playroom” for your kids – I’m sure they spend a lot of time in there!

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins!

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
