My friend Lisa at Lisa Goulet Design and her husband recently purchased a log home that they’ve had their eye on for close to 20 years. Now that they have their dream summer cottage, lucky Lisa gets to decorate it! Today I’d like to share Lisa’s first decorating project with you that for sure qualifies as a Fab Furniture makeover :-)
Lisa started with a coffee table that looked just like this side table (she forgot to take a before picture of the coffee table):
She started the makeover by spray painting the table Antique White.
She made a long cushion with a great blue & white chevron fabric…
…and just like that, the coffee table is now an awesome bench for the guest bedroom!
Lookin’ good! But wait, there’s more. The perfect detail – nail head trim. Lisa used the kind that comes in a strip and you hammer in a nail at every 4th or 5th spot. Much easier to apply than traditional nail head trim.
And the final product…
Great job, Lisa! I love how you repurposed the table into something completely different. I have a similar coffee table sitting in the basement… hmmmm… Click here to check out Lisa’s blog and read more about her makeover.
If you have a piece of furniture that you’ve built, repaired, refinished, repurposed, reinvented, or otherwise done something fabulous to, send me some pictures and the story behind it, and I’ll feature it in a future Fab Furniture Friday post.
Happy weekend!
super cute! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love that project -- excellent results. I'm planning two furniture makeovers but won't get to them until winter. I'll still show you the results when I get to them. One is a simple spray paint to change the look of an end table but the other one is an old cocktail table I picked up at a second hand store. I'm going to paint it, distress it, and add a try for the top. It's going into our guest room between two chairs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this -- this is a dynamite project and I LOVE the nailhead detail. I didn't know a person can buy strips of it either!
Love this table bench. Such a practical new use for an old piece.
ReplyDeleteI'm inspired...
ReplyDeleteGreat job Lisa! The nailheads are a nice touch on the table itself.
ReplyDeleteSome people are so talented, so resourceful and have such imagination - what a great job !!
