Before and After

Before and After: Coffee Table

I found this coffee table about 5 years ago at this little small Antique shop in downtown Benton in Arkansas. We lived there at the time and I squealed with delight as it was only $50. We took it out to the farm and transformed it. Staining the top a nice dark stain and painting the base a beautiful teal/turquoise color with a stained glaze distressed finish on top. We then sealed it with a couple of coats of polyurethane. We have used it every since, and I’m not sure I’d part with it. To be honest, I don’t remember the exact colors we used but it’s still a precious piece.

My name is Melinda, and I am a wife, mom of 3 kids – two boys and one girl, grandmother to four little ones and lover of farmhouse style and making things. I’ve been creating handmade, unique items for your home, for gifts, for holidays, and for my family since I was a little girl. My passion for making things and repainting furniture has inspired me to create a business selling these unique products. I have been repainting and repurposing furniture for home use and am now ready to take my unique style and create great furniture for you.
