Drum Table Updated with Anthropologie Knob and Paint

Guess what day it is??? It’s themed furniture makeover day! For newcomers, this is the day where once a month my furniture painting gal pals and I all give a piece of furniture a facelift with a theme. This month’s theme? Small tables.

In case you missed it, I shared another table makeover yesterday. Two tables in two days. Two posts in two days. There must be a blue moon somewhere! You can see yesterday’s table here. 

Here’s the whole table, legs and all. It has a really nice shape, don’t you think? 

Here’s how it looked. As my 15-year-old daughter said, there wasn’t anything wrong with it. And she was right. Not bad, but I always like to take things to their full potential. 

This was my inspiration. I found this stunning knob at Anthropologie and fell in love immediately. The detail is amazing and I knew it would be perfect for this project. 

I’m so glad the camera was able to capture the iridescent color in the center. It really does shimmer like that. I painted the table with Benjamin Moore Gray Wisp first, but it looked too light. So I added a layer of Stratton Blue for more depth. 

A little distressing in strategic places revealed the lighter color and gave it a nice naturally aged look. I’m loving the layers. 

Lastly I coated it with a layer of my favorite wax, let it dry, and buffed it to a soft shine. 

I photographed it in the living room but am strongly considering using it as a night stand. What do you think? Too small?

Some old books, flowers from Marshall’s, and one of my alabaster lamps decorate the top. I left the top unpainted because it was in great shape and I like the two toned look.

What do you think? Is it an improvement over how it looked or would you have kept it as it was?
