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!  Blue Furniture Makeovers

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.

    Hi,
    Love your posts. Where did you get your porch sign. Have never seen one that has all of the words I want for my porch!

      Thanks so very much! I got it at At Home Stores last year! It’s like printed on canvas. Here is one I found similar with my affiliate link on Amazon > https://amzn.to/2GiJG8O

    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.

      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. 🙂

Happy Saturday morning!!! Wow! I'm still going thr Happy Saturday morning!!! Wow! I'm still going through the comments on my last post as well as DM about going gray! I just colored my hair on Thursday morning so I've got a couple of weeks to decide. I'm going to go on and pause my eSalon order. Something that I was suprised to see was that many of you have tried this multiple times...some even 7 times. That makes me feel better. I can always color it again. 

What are you doing today? You'll find me in the mudroom painting today. I got a lot primed this week, but had to take a break to work on blog content. It can be hard sometimes being a one woman show. Our dining room has been a holding area for all the crap as I've been working to organize our home one junk drawer at a time. Y'all it's happening and getting organzied is life changing. 

This is one of my favorite spots in our dining room. This THRIFT STORE MIRROR MAKEOVER is one of my top posts on the blog. It's really simple to achieve with layering paint. I'll add the link to stories. You can also find it on the blog by going to my link in bio and searching for Thrifted Mirror Makeover or check out the Thrift Store Makeover Tab. Other thrifty finds in this shot: most of the plates around the mirror, the 2 round art pieces, blue and white vase, and tray.

I’ve had an insanely productive last couple of d I’ve had an insanely productive last couple of days! 5 blog posts have been shot!!! Back to painting tomorrow. I’ve got a serious 🧐 question for you??? Have you ever thought of letting your hair go natural? As in #silversisters natural? I turned 52 in December, and I’m so sick of it. I actually colored it today. Yes, I’ve done it myself for years. It doesn’t last and got so tired of the big bucks. I’ve been following a few accounts here for quite a while of other gals that have taken the plunge. They all look so vibrant, chic and young with their gray hair. (Same age) I have a very good friend that took the plunge this summer. She went drastic by buzz cutting her long dark hair. But was done with the coloring process. I can’t do that. I’ll have to go the skunk stripe route! 🦨 Just curious! Would love to hear you thoughts and if you’ve done this. Will today’s box of light brown be my last? Would anyone want to take the journey together?

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!
