Upcycled coffee table

IMG_3416.jpeg

 

Hello Everyone,

 

Here is a coffee table that I have upcycled, found this beauty on Facebook market and thought it had so much potential. I knew I want to remove all the old stain and brought it back to its original colour. 

 

I started by sanding the whole table to its original raw colour and discovered a beautiful timber under it. To add a bit more of a modern and interesting look I painted the bottom part in black and the final touch the beautiful black leather and gold handles. And to protect the top counting I just added a clear stain colour. 

 

List of products used: 

- Lane Black Leather Handle 

- White Knight Black Satin Water-Based Splashes Interior Paint 

- Sanding paper started with 40 grid and finish with 60 grid 

- Timber Protect Satin One Coat Clear Water Based Varnish 

 

Hope you all enjoy this little DIY :smile: - Check out the before and after below

@lifestylebymari Wow it looks amazing! What a great idea painting the bottom black, it almost looks like it’s floating now. 😊
