Way back in August of 2012, I started this blog as a hobby. I was decorating and painting furniture long before I started Our Southern Home. Today's thrift store makeover goes way back. I love it now more than ever. 

Welcome to this month's thrift store makeovers. Be sure to read through to the end so you can visit the other projects from the team this month.

Thrift store console table is perfect on the porch with its new makeover! #paintedfurniture

If you've followed the blog for any length of time, you recognize this small console table on the front porch. If you go back and look at the last couple of years when this was shown, you'll notice that I always have it covered on top with a runner, fabric or a throw blanket. You see the paint has been peeling on it for a while now. Early on before the trees got larger, the porch got hot sun so I am sure that is what helped contribute to the peeling paint. I never could find the time to repaint it so I always just threw fabric on it. It's started peeling in a few other places so it sure was time.

The top was peeling and the rails along the sides were peeling. I had a spring porch post to do, so I knew it was time to get busy on it.

Something like this really calls for an electric sander like my trusted Dewalt one. This table was painted with exterior paint. It has truly held up for a long time.

I'm going to be honest……I was really liking the look of the raw sanded wood with the blue still in the grooves! I proceeded to sand all the areas that I could reach with the electric sander. When I was finished I blew it off with my Ryobi Cordless Blower to remove most of the dust. Then I wiped it down with a wet rag.

Also on OSH!  Thrift Store Coffee Table Makeover

Y'all I was in love with the look. I had much sanded down to the bare wood with bits of blue in all the right places. I decided to leave it like this and live with it for a while. If I decided that I liked it, I would apply a top coat to seal it for outdoor use. If I ended up not liking the look, I'd finish sanding and paint. My original plan was to paint it gray. You'll see another thrift store table purchased at the same time that I painted the gray. I do love the gray, but I'm liking the added different look. Let me know what you think!

I adore the mismatched look.

This is the gray that I painted this table. It was the same blue color. It's a gray spray paint for outdoors – Valspar at Lowes.

What do you think? I think it's time to apply a spray exterior matte sealer. Rustoleum makes one.

    The table is very pretty. I would paint the legs like the mirror and keep the top natural with the color in the grooves, as you have it….. or I would sand all of it and keep natural.
    I am enjoying your blog.

    Love the look – but because it’s against the natural looking brick, I think a new coat of paint would ‘pop’ the pretty table – although having it washed in areas would be nice.
    I’m sure any decision would look lovely since you’re so very talented and will work whatever you decide!

    I love it! Though my taste would run to painting the legs and leaving the top natural.

      April 16, 2018 at 11:35 AM

      This is my opinion also. The painted legs would then relate back to the mirror above and the top could retain it’s natural look.

      Hey! Yes, I love it as well. I’ve got to totally go and change my post. I went to get the can in the garage to share the color with you. It’s actually Rust-oleum Satin finish in Coastal Gray. Here is a link so you can see it. Sorry about that.https://amzn.to/2EP1khN

    I love the wood/paint combination. I’d spray it and keep it that way for now! Wish I had a porch; I’d have the best time finding decor!

    I love the new look of the old table! The worn wood and the faded blue paint are a perfect match.

    I wish I had a pretty porch where I could display stuff. 🙂

Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m a bit loosey goosey about it. I tend to decorate it in a way that will work for a couple of seasons at a time. The easiest way to do this is with pillows! I went a little unexpected color wise for spring because I found these gorgeous pillows @potterybarn and had to use right now! I love a pillow that will do double duty in other rooms as well. These will also work in the family room for a quick change. You can see all the details and more of our bedroom with a rug change by visiting my link in bio to this fun tour with 5 of my blogging friends.

After so many days of clouds and rain, the sun is glorious! Look at that blue sky! I took advantage of the day because I was just too excited to unroll my new @boutiquerugs outdoor rug on the patio! #ad I don't think I've ever been more pleased with an outdoor rug. It has totally defined this outdoor area. While our temps are still all over the place, we are already sitting out here on warm days. Daily outdoor living is right around the corner so now is a great time to take advantage of my discount code SOUTHERNHOME60 to get a sitewide discount on a new rug and more! We are supposed to be 70 today, so I'll be working out here today! Check out my stories for up-close details of this rug.

I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my ki I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my kids years ago. I’ve never had a class, but you can learn a lot from books and Youtube these days. This is the first one I’ve made in probably 8 years. These little smaller mini cake pans are so fun to make a taller cake. I’ve got all the details on this semi-homemade cake that starts with a box on the blog today along with a few recipes from my friends. Each month we come together to share a simple recipe. 

It’s not perfect, but made with love. 💕 It was a big hit for @ashlyn_little ‘s birthday on Jan 30th. I can’t wait to make another one! You’ll find a link in stories today or visit my link in bio @oursouthernhome to visit the blog.
