The only thing wrong with this table (if you don’t count the glitter glue and magic marker on the top), was the color. SO orangey-red! The cherry wood itself, with the noticeable grain, is absolutely gorgeous and I knew it would be a shame to cover it up if it wasn’t absolutely necessary. So that’s why I decided to strip it down to bare wood and give it a night, light, whitewashing. So Much Better!

This solid cherry table was unfortunately given a few (too many) coats of glossy black paint. I smoothed out all the brush strokes, stripped all the paint off the top, gave the top a rustic driftwood colored stain, and updated the base with a beautiful sea foam blue color. The pull was updated with stainless steel colored paint.
It’ll be perfect for an entry foyer, a nightstand, or even as a TV stand. Can’t you just picture this in your beach house?!
