Entry Table Makeover

Today, I am going to share an entry table makeover that I did for a friend of mine!

Laura is my bible study leader, but she was also a recent client of Hutcherson Home Remodel! She had Cy do a makeover on her foyer at her home, (which I will share the before and afters of that in a future post.) But she asked me to paint a table that she had in her entry way. It no longer went with the new style of her home.

Here is the before of that piece…

It had a more country look to it. The white paint had a brown glaze over it, and the paint was rubbed off on the edges. The top had a more rustic feel as well.

With Laura’s foyer makeover, she wanted to have a black piece of furniture in her entry way. She almost bought a new piece, but could never find one that fit quite as perfectly as her white one did. So we decided to just paint it black!

Here are the supplies I used for this project…

SUPPLIES

• Purdy Clear Cut Brush 2.0
• Purdy Jumbo Ultra Finish Roller Cover 3/8″ nap
• Purdy Tray and Roller Frame
• Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Black Paint in Satin
• Tack Cloth
• 220 Grit Sanding Sponge
• Drop Cloth
• Gold Leaf Rub n Buff

STEP ONE: Clean the furniture really well with a good cleaner.

STEP TWO: Lightly sand then entire piece of furniture with a 220 grit sanding sponge, and wipe the dust off with a tack cloth.

STEP THREE: Use the Purdy Clear Cut brush to paint all the corners, grooves, or hard to reach places.

STEP FOUR: Use the Purdy Jumbo Ultra Finish Roller Cover 3/8″ nap to roll all the flat surfaces of the furniture. It gives it such a smooth finish!

STEP FIVE: Let paint dry and then repeat steps 3 and 4!

STEP SIX: Use Gold Leaf Rub n Buff and small art brushes to paint the hardware. (I actually use my finger a lot too. 🥴. It doesn’t come off your skin very easy, but sometimes it’s worth it.😂)

That’s it!

Now let’s look back and the original piece one more time…

And now the after….

It look like a totally different piece of furniture! The black paint and gold hardware gives it a classy, more expensive look.

Laura is thrilled with how it turned out, and she hung her beloved cat pictures above it. ❤️. Each picture represents one of her cats that she loves so much. And the illustration of each cat represents their name. So cute!

I put together a video of my instagram stories that has even more information about painting this piece of furniture. I hope you enjoy it!

Let me know if you have any questions in the comments.

Have a blessed day!

xoxo, Traci
