I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! It is crazy to think that it is already over. Every year, I get more and more bummed because there is such a huge build up for it and then it goes by in a flash. Not fair. My kids are dreading going back to school and I am dreading getting back to the daily grind. It is so nice to have the break from practices, school and schedules to regroup and wind down with the family. The one thing that isn’t slowing down around here are the projects. Even though they keep me busy, it never feels like work because I enjoy doing them so much. I could do them day in and day out and not get tired of it. My latest project was this DIY White End Table Makeover.
I found these tables at a local thrift store.
I am usually not an “end table” person.
I don’t look for them to make over, but these were different.
Hello, lion hardware and casters!
Furniture was half off that day so that helped too.
Another bonus was that they had glass tops. I started imagining all the possibilities I could put under the glass.

Supplies Used In This White End Table Makeover:
Fusion Mineral Paint – “Champlain”
To start the makeover, I used Paint Deglosser. These tables were a lot more “shiny” and “finished” than I usually like so the Deglosser worked great at prepping them before I painted them.
I was super excited to give Fusion Mineral Paint a try.
Their color choices are so great! I decided to go with “Champlain” for these tables.
They look like different tables!
The “Champlain” color is a perfect, country white color.
It highlights the hardware and casters so well.
I was thinking about putting old maps under the glass tops, but once I had the paint on the tables, I came up with a different plan. The reclaimed wood paper was a much better fit. I wish I could have put real wood under the glass, but there wasn’t enough space to do that.
The paper was the next best thing and it came out great.
If you noticed in the initial picture, the tables have different casters on them so one is higher. That didn’t bother me because you wouldn’t use these tables side by side so you would never notice.
The Fusion paint was amazing and I will be using the Deglosser on more projects like this.
Once I had these done, my sister stopped by. She loved them so much that she said she wanted them for Christmas. Guess what was under the tree for her this year? 😉
She is finishing her basement so these are going to work perfect in the new space.
What do you think of the makeover? Have you used a deglosser before? What did you think of it?

Where did you find the barnwood paper? I love it!!
Cindy – I added the link in my post. It is from Amazon.
I love the transformation! Where are these products available?
I put all the links in my post! They are all so great!
They look great! White was a great choice! I love using Fusion, but i have never worked with a deglosser!
It is so great! You should give it a try!
Hi,
If I would have seen these tables before your sister did, I would have wanted them for Christmas! I love the style of the tables and am currently looking for two end tables and these would have been perfect! Where did you get the barn wood paper? What a nice idea. Good job. You really rock.
Happy new year!

Carol, I put the link in the post for the paper. It is photo back drop paper that is inexpensive and you get a lot of it!!!
Whaaaat, Zinsser has a deglosser? I LOVE their primer, the only one I keep in the shop but I MUST get their deglosser now too. I love these tables and your sister is a lucky gal to get them under her tree this Christmas. The barn wood paper is a much better choice Lindsay – love it!
I am so excited I found this stuff and used it! It has opened up a lot more projects for me!
These tables are fabulous !! This has given me inspiration to redo my ugly dinner table. It looks like the before pic and has glass top. I’m getting excited to hit the paint store.
YAY Rachael! Go for it! Would love to hear how it went!
I love Zinsser! I used it about 15 years ago to degloss varnished doors that were dark and painted them white. It worked great! I then used Zinsser to degloss a Formica vanity in my bathroom and painted the entire cabinet and top and then used polyurethane on top. It still looks wonderful! That have a ten star product.
Your end tables came out super great. Now I want to find a project where I can try the fusion paint. I’m saving your end tables to my favorites!
Thank you Janet. This was the first time I have used that product and I am hooked too. I just used it on another piece. I will be looking at more pieces to pick up now too because of this product.
I love these tables! Did you glue the paper on top of the table or does it just lay there under the glass? Great job!
I Mod Podged it on the top of the tables to make sure it stayed. You could just lay it on there though because the glass would make it so it wouldn’t move.
Funny thing, when I followed your link to the wood look paper, I slid over the pics on the ad. On the second pic I thought, Why in the world did they put a raw turkey in the picture ?? HA! Then I noticed it’s not a turkey. LOL
🙂 Funny!
Beautiful job! I love the barn wood paper. I’m pinning this to our Fusion Lovers Pinterest board!
Thank you!
Your tables are beautiful! I have an old china cabinet I’m going to paint and use it for storage in my craft room. The products you used I believe will be great!! Thank you!!
Thank you Martha!
Your tables are fabulous and the rustic paper was the perfect choice!
Hi Lindsey,
I submitted a comment last week and I appreciated you getting back to me. However, you have continued to email me with the same thing over and over and over. Probably 10 or 12 times. Please check this out and discontinue sending me the same email. I’m sure it is a computer glitch and you probably don’t even know this happening and that is why I am advising you of this matter.
Thank you.
Carol P-K
Carol, I am so sorry!!! I have no idea why that is happening. I will try and look into it. Again, I am so sorry. I wonder what is happening???
Thank you Cynthia!
They turned out great and I love the old wood look added beneath the glass!
Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!
Blessings,
Cindy
Thanks Cindy!
I absolutely love that paper you put under the glass!! Brilliant idea! It looks like real wood. You did a wonderful job on these tables. The color and the details you added are perfect for giving them a classy chic look!
Hope you have a great week!
Smiles!
Terry
Thank you so much Terry!
This was an incredible transformation. So simple and so beautiful.
Thank you Doreen.
Super cute makeover Lindsay!! I’m featuring it tomorrow at Work it Wednesday – thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Krista!!!
I love the details on the tables.. Your makeover brought them to a new level and the look beautiful.
Thank you!
Wow, I love the transformation of these tables. I really like the use of the barn wood paper under the glass, it really makes a huge change over just a plain top. I haven’t used a deglosser yet but might have to try it soon since it’s much easier and less messy than sanding.
I really like the Deglosser for projects like this Toni! I have used it many times since these tables. Thanks for stopping by!
These end tables turned out great. Love the color …and the barnwood wall paper. How clever. Thanks so much for linking to Friday’s Furniture Fix. Sharing out on IG and FB later today. XO Susie from The Chelsea Project
Thank you Susie!
Hi Lindsay, I just love this project. Did you just cut and lay the paper under the glass or did you decoupage it to the table before adding the glass?
I decoupaged it, but you could just lay the paper on there too.
