Gilded Side Table


I've been up to my usual shuffling of furniture around the house and recently took this little pedestal table (which I made last summer, details HERE) from our screened porch, and gave it a little update and a new home.

 

For this simple update, I used my favorite gold spray paint, Rustoleum Metallic Gold, and gave the edge of the top and the lip on the bottom of the table some gilding.


When it had dried completely, I used Frog Tape to tape over the gold and gave the rest of the table a couple coats of a creamy ivory spray paint in a gloss finish.

Quick and easy update and it's the perfect size for the space next to the rocking chair in Ellie's room.



I still adore the carved detail on the top of the table and think it's perfectly at home in a little girl's room.


The weather has been gorgeous here the last couple weeks and I'm starting to get the screened porch cleaned and ready for summer use.  Stay tuned for some small updates, including what's replaced this little table out there!

    Such a cute idea and it turned out so lovely! I am also trying to beautify our back porch. I need to go out and pick up some Rustoleum's Metallic Gold for this black bakers rack that I wanted to spray...the finish on that gold is perfect! Jesse @ Scout & Nimble

      Yes! I love it so much more than other golds I've tried. It's really a "true" gold.

    Nothing like a little gold metallic to perk-up a piece! Love those pretty details!

    I like the update to your table. But I have to say, I LOVE those black lanterns! Where did you find those?
