Farmhouse Style - Coffee Table Makeover

living room with dark and wooden tones coffee table and blue foggy medallion rug

I have a love-hate relationship with coffee tables, many times I see them as useless pieces of furniture that we parked there in the middle of a room. Other times, I see them as the central piece that brings cohesiveness to the entire room. Hmm, I wonder what your point of view on this subject is.

Anyways, I'm so used to having a coffee table in the middle of my living and family room that now I can't leave that center spot all alone. Nope. I need a coffee table.

I was there, in the middle of my living room renovation, contemplating that coffee table that the room has sported for the past seven years.

Sad.

I ordered this, the Distressed Foggy Medallion Rug, and that shrunk my budget. I love the rug, but nah, that coffee table wasn't cutting it.

I was thinking of transforming that table, but the tapered legs and those metal rods on the sides were too much.

I went all around the house looking for something else I could transform and found a lucky break in the basement. The play-table that my kids used when they were little was there waiting for a makeover. Its straight lines were perfect for my now more simplistic decor.

Out of 2x2's and using pocket holes, a frame was put together to add it to the base of the table.


One simple screw in each corner was enough to keep both pieces together.

I didn't like the top the table sported, I made my own tabletop out of wood that one of my neighbors gave me a couple of weeks ago.
Don't you love when your neighbors think you can put any piece of wood to good use! ;)

All the boards were also attached with the pocket hole mechanism.

The final steps were sanding everything smooth, painting the base with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - Graphite, and applying tung oil to the top.

I love its modern-rustic look. And hey, it pays to shop your own home!
from blah to my!

I'm so glad I didn't get rid of that little table!
