My brother recently gifted some old end tables to my sister. While they were in great condition, my sister really wanted a pop of color in her new family room so I offered to paint them.

end table makeoverWe decided on Old Violet Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I used this color before with this table I had in my old house and really loved how it looked like blueish gray color, especially when waxed.

Especially if the drawers are in good shape.

I can see this filled to the brim with toys by the end of the week!

    I really like this and I have 3 glass top honey oak tables that need updating. Did you just leave the glass top the way it was? From the picture it looks like there may be something under the glass.

      Under the glass is just more slatted wood for support. I took the glass out to paint and put back on top when the paint was dry!
