This end table was already adorable. But my customer just wanted to make it blend with her other furnishings a bit better. The stain color was making it stand out like a sore thumb. So all it needed was a bit of gray paint. She chose a warm light gray. The piece already had some great distressing and dents so we just highlighted those, to keep that farmhouse chic style!

Coffee & End Table Set
This set is solid wood, which is SO hard to find nowadays. I painted it with a super pale gray that has a hint of blue in it. Then lightly distressed the edges and added a little bit of gray glaze pinstriping. It’s pale enough that it can be used like a neutral.

Iron base end tables
There was absolutely nothing wrong with these solid, workhorse end tables. They’re solid wood (which is almost unheard of today!), and they had heavy duty iron bases. The rich espresso color was just feeling a bit dark and dated. So to liven things up a bit I painted them with a bright white paint then distressed the edges (as usual). But I mean, c’mon…..if I don’t distress them then the kids surely will. I’m just beating them to the punchline.

Chunky 70s End Table
My customer asked that I update their 70s style end table with a satiny black finish. It had some cracks, and a crummy paint job, but nothing that wasn’t fixable.

Set of 2 Narrow Cherry End Tables
Set of 2, narrow cherry end tables. Each have 1 small drawer on the lower shelf. These nice petite tables are perfect for the family room or living room that are tight on space. They were given a beachy vibe with pale taupe paint and topped with a white glaze. We even kept the original pulls and just gave them an update with paint.

Vintage Walnut 1-drawer End Table
Pine End Table
This little beauty didn’t need much. It’s solid wood, and very sturdy. But the orange stain really needed to go. I updated it with a bright white (Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace), highlighted the details with gray glaze, and then lightly distressed the edges. Now you don’t have to worry so much when your 4 year runs his toys into it over and over again. He’ll be adding to the patina!
