Inspired by West Elm
It’s themed furniture day! Today’s theme is “Knockoff” or “Inspired By”. My makeover was inspired by a mid-century style nightstand I spotted on West Elm.
Super easy project adding just a bit of paint and cleaning up the original finish. Win-Win for both sides of the painted furniture issue!

I really like the white paint and wood two-tone finish….so fresh and clean.
My project table is not mid-century modern but it’s what I had to work with and it needed a makeover.
This is the top of the table. I either had to paint the top or refinish it. No question about what I was going to do.
I used Reclaim paint in off-white. The photo above shows the table with one coat of paint.
There were just a few minor scratches and dings on the legs, shelf, and frame of the table. I took care of those easily with a furniture marker and Howard’s feed n’ wax.
That white perked the table right up. I know this table has a modern vibe but I had to use a few of my junky, rusty, treasures to stage the photo. That’s just me.

August 26, 2016 at 5:32 pmThat is one gorgeous, good-lookin’ table! I love the contrast between the polished wood and the white drawers. It is one of my faves you’ve shared. You get a “10” for effort and a “10+” for beauty!

August 25, 2016 at 2:43 pmA note on the styling: that brown box was too bulky and especially too brown. The photo would have looked more interesting with a touch of virtually any color: a pop of red, or orange, or blue…

August 25, 2016 at 4:56 amI totally love your two-toned table. It’s the perfect intersection of mid-century and farmhouse. And your rusty staging teasures give it that great Petticoat Junktion charm. Another fab makeover!!! Susie from The Chelsea Project
