Turquoise Table
This table has been with us for most of our marriage. I always decorate with red, so it has been perfect for our house. It has been used as an entry table, side table and a basic display table. When I decided to re-do our front room, however, I decided that the turquoise from the plaid pillow would be a perfect color to paint the table and bring a little more cohesion to the room.
Here’s what I did to get the look.
I started with this:
Next, I simply painted it with a vintage blue paint (made by Behr). To paint this table I only needed a sample size of paint. At about $3, it was Perfect! I used a mini roller and then used a small brush to get into the cracks. It took two coats to get it covered completely.
After the paint dried, I went back over it with a black glaze. (Also a sample size) I have never used a glaze before, so it was a little trial and error. It ended up turning out just the way that I had envisioned it though.

I absolutely love it!!! Gives me hope on a table I have similar to that, and like you has been around for years and is in need of a serious face lift! Great job!!
Gorgeous! The color is beautiful and the glaze is perfect!
Way cute idea. I’m inspired to do a entry way table! Way to go!
I am dying for a table like that…it’s the perfect size! Have two spots to fill with small tables like that! Beautiful job on the color. Great job.
