Wooden Side Table Makeover

One of my best friends moved in to a new place and wanted to change her décor. I spotted this old wooden side table she had and asked her if she needed me to give it a makeover to match her new design. With a little love and a few easy steps, this little wooden side table makeover was a breeze.

Time: 1-2 hours plus dry time

Materials:

  • Sandpaper
  • Mohawk Epoxy Putty Stick
  • Spray Paint
  • Fabric
  • Scissors
  • Rotary Cutter
  • Cutting Mat
  • Measuring Tape
  • Spray Adhesive

Instructions:

Here is the table before. It had quit a few gauges and scratches.

The first thing I did was removed the drawer and lightly sanded down the whole piece.

After I cleaned off all dust and debris, I applied Mohawk epoxy putty in all the gauges, cracks, and nicks on the top and legs. The epoxy stick comes in many colors to match your wood, however since I planned on painting over this, I used beige. When applying the putty, knead it with your fingers first and apply a generous amount to the surface that needs repaired.

Next I lightly sanded over the puttied areas to create a smooth surface with 120 grit sandpaper.

Once I cleaned off the debris and dust, I spray painted the drawer and base with Krylon’s chalkboard slate gray. I did several light coats.

The piece looked nice gray, however after looking at it, I wanted to add a little color and pattern to match my friend’s décor.

I measured and cut fabric to fit the top of the table as well as the sides. A rotary cutter to cut the fabric is a ideal for this piece.

  1. I love what you did with this little side table! The putty stick looks so much easier to work with than my tub of putty. I can’t wait to give it a try.

  2. What a great makeover! I’ve never heard of Epoxy putty stick, so learned something new. Hope you can come and share on Merry Monday again.
