I started by sanding the drawers and stripping the legs. I used Citrisolve for the legs and it did a great job, but I didn't know how to get it off round legs with a flat scraper. I pretty much made a giant mess and used a whole bunch of things I am sure were not meant to remove the stripper, but it worked!
I painted the body of the table and handles with three coats of SW paint in their base white mixed into DIY chalk paint.

Too Much Time On My Hands
I have a mid century modern dresser that I did not want to paint completely , but wanted to lighten. Yours gives me a great idea on what it could look like. Thanks, it looks great!

ReplyDeletevisiting you from Frugal Friday. This is spectacular. You must be really pleased
ReplyDeleteGorge! I do MCM redos all the time. The fact that you got this free is super. Love the fabric too. Great job. BTW, you can take an 80 grit sandpaper and do the legs by hand. It comes off pretty easily. No need to mess with the stripper!
ReplyDeleteThe table looks great! Love the white and the fabric liners are too fun.
ReplyDeleteI love how this turned out! You did a great job and I love that penguin fabric inside the drawers!
ReplyDeleteThat was once a Kent Coffey Perspecta night stand. Painting furniture pretty much ruins it if you ever want to bring it back to its original beauty. You could have easily just restained it. What a shame.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric, ultimate compliment to the drawers
ReplyDeleteLOVE how this came out! Featured it today on Silver Pennies Sundays. x

Great job inside and out. This isn't even my personal taste, but I see what a small miracle you did with this free furniture haul!
ReplyDeleteI am crushing on Mid-century furniture of late and I have a similar side table just waiting for a new life. Love what you did! I think I will get at that table next week! Thx
ReplyDeleteGood job!!! Looks fantastic
ReplyDeleteOutstanding collection..!!!Bedroom Furniture Online
ReplyDeleteSo, where did you get the amazing drawer handles?
ReplyDeleteTo strip round legs, you apply Citrisolv and wrap with plastic wrap, and scrub off with a round nylon dish scrubber---the dollar store kind. All the gunk just collects in the spaces and then just throw it away.
