Large Square Coffee Table Makeover

February 22, 2018 21 Comments

This Large Square Coffee Table Makeover has come a long way since we have owned the table.  

The family room makeover is coming right along! We are in a rush to get it done before we close on our next flip house project in early March. Our family room makeover came about when Matt and I were sitting in the room and decided that it is way too dark in the room. We have regular sized windows in the family room so it doesn’t feel like a lower level or basement but, the dark paint color on the walls was making the room feel smaller and dark. 

After we painted the walls, I knew I had to paint the coffee table. I bought the Ethan Allen coffee table at a yard sale years ago. At first, I painted it a blue color. But, with this family room makeover, the blue wasn’t going to work anymore. I could have gotten a new coffee table, but this one is so sturdy! It also fits the sectional nice. The kids can sit and stand on this table and I never have to worry about it. It will hold them and their friends.  

The large square coffee table started out like this:

When I was planning this large square coffee table makeover, I thought that “Drop Cloth” from Dixie Belle Paint would be the perfect color. I LOVE that color (you can see Drop Cloth on my curbside cabinet that now lives in my office HERE). I thought I put that color in my order, but I received my order, “Drop Cloth“ wasn’t in there. (It will definitely be in my next order.)

So, I had to get creative on the color. I knew I wanted to lighten the coffee table so I looked through the colors I had on hand and mixed the rest of the “Drop Cloth“ I had with “Fluff“ and “Buttercream“. 

With this mixture, I was able to get a creamy white color that was beautiful on the coffee table. Not only did it lighten the coffee table, but it gave me the look I wanted without having to get rid of the function we need with this table. Money saved and I love the coffee table all over again.

If I have said it before, I will say it a gazillion times over: If you don’t love something in your space, change it! Maybe it’s paint, maybe it’s changing out the hardware. Don’t feel like you are stuck with something you don’t love. Get creative and make it something you love. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Small changes make the biggest differences in a space.

Phew. I went on a tirade there.

I digress.

I had to change out the knobs on this coffee table too. We had a bag of glass knobs in the garage that were the perfect fit.

This large coffee table makeover would not have been complete without changing the knobs, that’s for sure.

Not only has paint on the walls change the look of our family room, but painting this coffee table was the best decision to getting the look we wanted. I am still waiting on a sign for the wall between the windows to surprise the kids with and I want to find some new things to hang on the other walls, but it is coming together.

Yard season is coming up soon so I am super excited to see what I can find to add to our family room. If you love to shop yard sales or want to learn more about how to shop yard sales, I put together a FREE guide with all of my tips and tricks. You can sign up to receive it HERE.

    Hi! I love what you did to the square coffee table. I have one too that I’d love to paint but just had a few questions. Did you use a brush or roller to put the paint on? And did you put any type of glaze or finish over the paint? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks so much!

      I used a brush, but a roller would be fine too. I did not put a top coat on it yet, but I probably will put a matte top coat on it. Thanks for your question!

    I have the exact table too I got from garage sale cheap. It was walnut in color and I painted it off white with ASloan Chalk paint and top with flat flat polyurethane finish. It turned out so good.
