Curvy and Petite Simple Entry Table Makeover

A good cleaning, fresh paint and gorgeous hardware make all the difference in this simple entry table makeover.

Recently, I was given a curvy little entry table that had quite the colorful paint job. Sometimes a furniture makeover requires a lot of work and sometimes it just needs a little cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. This was one of those times when a good scrubbing and a little make-under made all the difference in bringing a piece of furniture back to life.

- Respirator
- 100 and 120 grit sanding pads
- Hardware (Hobby Lobby)

Let's take a look at how this colorful little entry table looked before.

It had quite the coat of dirt and grim and a very detailed and colorful paint job. It's hard to tell, but there's even stripes and polka dots painted on the legs. Someone spent a lot of time painting this piece and I'm sure it was perfect for a little girls room, but I was after a more versatile look. Its petite size made it perfect for an entryway so the more neutral I could make it the better.

I removed the current decal, wiped the table down with Simple Green then gave it a good sanding using my orbital sander and 120 grit sandpaper. After cleaning off the sanding dust I added a new decorative decal (using wood glue) then gave the table 3 coats of General Finishes Snow White. I lightly distressed around the edges then sealed the paint with General Finishes Satin Finishing Wax.

The curvy top, decorative accents and spacious drawer make it perfect for a small space entry.

My favorite part of the table makeover are the gorgeous new knobs. I bought them from Hobby Lobby a few months ago in hopes of using them on a future furniture makeover. I knew they were perfect for this little table as soon as I put them on.
