I Painted It White – Part 1

You might remember the story about my boyfriend not wanting me to paint any furniture white. Well, I’ve decided to start a series featuring furniture that I end up painting white anyway!

You probably recognize this little table from a Weekend Junk post.

I bought it at Savers for $9.99 at the end of March. It’s been gracing my living room with it’s lovely oak presence ever since.

Finally I went to Home Depot, bought a sander, and sanded this little baby dull.

 

I primed it with the leftover Kilz primer from my bedroom.

I used Sherwin Williams ProClassic Creamy to paint the table. I don’t have a picture of the table before I decided to heavily distress it.

Hated it. So, I painted over most of the distressing and then lightly distressed the table again.

Better. Glaze time! I mixed Minwax Dark Walnut Stain with some Valspar Clear Glaze...wipe on, rub off.

Meanwhile, I painted the pull with Krylon’s ORB. The table doesn’t really have a drawer, but I like the pull, so I kept it anyway.

I finished off the table with a couple sprays of Minwax Polycrylic in Satin and added the pull back to the "drawer".

Here she is, in all her white glory! 

Confession: I haven't unpacked any decorations...I had to dig through boxes to find these!
