I recently found this night table while browsing one of the local "yard sales" on Facebook. The price was the first thing that caught my attention, five bucks..I couldn't go wrong! I needed a small night table for my son's room and this looked like the perfect fit. When I picked it up I was pleased to see what great condition it was in. So with today being my day off, I thought I should tackle it's transformation.
It all starts with a little sanding with the trusty mouse sander. Usually, I would prime the piece but I decided to forgo that today. I then applied an even coat of Rust-oleum Painter's Touch in Apple Red. Once dried I lightly distressed the edges with some sand paper. One of my favorite finishes is glazing. I absolutely love Valspar's Antiquing Glaze for this procedure. You really can't mess it up. Simply apply to the entire area and rub off. If the effect is too strong I will spritz a little water to allow for any additional glaze to be toned down. I finalized the table with Watco Clear Lacquer to protect the surfaces.
So pleased with the outcome. The best part is that I had all of the supplies already on hand!
