Coffee Table Makeover

While I was visiting my parents last week, my Mom and I always make a trip to her Goodwill to see what finds we can score. Her Goodwill always has the best home decor items as well as furniture, and when I saw this coffee table, I immediately saw its potential. Not a bad find for $15!

Before: Hallie and I worked so hard to scrape that felt off the top of the table. I bet you can guess what color I painted it. I seem to have a fetish with painting things black lately.

After: the Pottery Barn candlesticks (yes, someone donated a Pottery Barn item to Goodwill... I'm thinking they're crazy too!) are also a find from my Mom's Goodwill and I spray painted them silver to match the decor in our living room. Someday when we're sick of the table, we'll add some molding around the edge of the top of the table and reuse it in a toy room or the kids' room as a train table. So many purposes, but for now I love it in this room.
