Easy Simple Furniture Makeovers That Make A Difference. Sometimes it’s a big furniture makeover that really makes a room. Sometimes it’s just the easiest simple makeover that finally pulls it all together. Paying attention to details really pays off in big ways. You guys taught me to look at all the details.
When I bought the living room coffee table, doing a coffee table makeover was one of the things I wanted to do. Then you know how it goes, I was so busy trying to pull this house together – (we had only been here about 6 months at the time) – so it wasn’t the #1 priority.
Then I guess I got used to it and forgot about my makeover, that is until my 2020 Summer Home Tour. It’s funny how you guys see everything and don’t miss a trick. I had one viewer that noticed that the coffee table color and mirror color clashed. The coffee table color isn’t the brass color that I use in this room, so it really clashed with the mirror. Time to take care of that.
Outside to the backyard next to the garden where I had a little shade and get to work. A really light rubbing down with steel wool.
Time to get my paints out. I want this to be a nice gold kind of tarnished brass finish. These are the paints I used. I first prayed it with the Metallic Primer. Then with the 18K gold. That didn’t make it as gold as I wanted. So another coat with the Design Master 24K Pure Gold. This stuff is amazing. Perfect color.
Ok, before I show you how it turned out. Let’s see what it looked like. You see, my viewer was right, they don’t look good together. I got so used to the two together that I didn’t even notice anymore. I bought this coffee table in the first place because it had a bottom shelf and the top had beveled glass. The really muted gold tone was one I knew I could change – I just didn’t. haha.
Now it really does look so much better. Thanks to my viewer for bringing this to my attention. I love it even more than before.
See how pretty the mirror and the coffee table look together now!!! It’s amazing that such a simple paint job and a couple of hours took care of this problem.
Here again, is the before. The original finish really doesn’t look good. It almost even looks green. So glad I painted it.
I’m glad you guys notice these things and keep me on my toes. This makes my room look new again. I love it.

What a great makeover. It looks beautiful. Hugs to you, my friend.
Looks great, Marty!
You know – you should’ve had that reader come over and do that job for you though. Haha. JK.
Hope you are having a good week. Sending hugs.
Great job. I think when you are looking at pictures, you see everything. I notice when I take closeup photos of my plants, you see all this clutter surrounding the area like empty flower pots or maybe a tool in the background.
