Giving a console table a facelift is something i love doing!
I really get a kick out of finding cheap ugly furniture and transforming it into something beautiful.
Case in point, this dated ugly console table:
I found this old girl at a thrift store. I wasn’t a fan of her cherry-wood finish or brassy hardware, but I loved the size, and knew it would fit perfectly in our living room.
{This picture was taken before our trim and walls were painted….bleh.}
I brush painted the table my go-to “Heirloom White” (by American Accents, or Rustoleum). I considered switching out the drawer pulls, but ended up just spray painting them “Champagne Nouveau” by Krylon.
…and that little crate under the console table? It used to look like this:
See? I told you I get a kick out of cheap ugly stuff!

How beautiful and what a transformation! I love the paint color you used, it looks so elegant, and love how you styled the table! Lovely!
Thanks so much, Maria! 🙂
Hi, i have the same exact table that my great grandmother left me. Before i go and paint it, can you please tell me if you used primer or did you sand it. This will be my first time painting wood and i dont want to ruin it. Thanks. By the way, yours came out amazing!! Great job.
Thanks, Veronica! Yes, to both! I sanded it down with a medium-grit sand paper, and primed it! 🙂 Good luck with your grandma’s table!
I love this…what a fresh & modern update! And love how you freshened the hardware with spray paint…gotta love fabulous spray paints they make today! Thanks for sharing! I’m a new follower too 🙂

Hi April! I love what you’ve done to the table. It’s very pretty and unique, but I was actually wondering what color you used for your wall.
Hi, Kimberly! I used Benjamin Moore’s “Vapor Trails” and absolutely love it!!! 🙂
What a huge transformation! Love how it turned out. It was one of my favorites this week!

Thanks so much for linking up! I always look forward to reading your posts!
XO!
Thanks so much for the feature, Amy! 🙂
I realize this post is a little older {or rather my comment is a little late}, but I love the facelift on the console table. I have a table with a shiny cherry finish similar to the console table that I’ve been thinking about painting. Trying to decide between white and gray. Love your console table!
I also have an old {antique} dresser with an attached mirror that swivels and a marble top that I’m thinking about giving a facelift as well. Any suggestions for the dresser?
Thanks, Pam! Yes, the white was a big improvement over the dark cherry wood color! Without seeing dresser, it’s hard for me offer suggestions, but I love the look of marble with gray! 😉
