Today's project is a sofa table. It was in good condition except for some surface scratches.

Before: Sofa Table |
Unfortunately the top had some gouges and scratches.

The finish was scratched. |
If it was solid wood it might have been a candidate for refinishing, but such was not the case.

Long scratch across the top of the table. |
I used my orbital sander to smooth out the scratches and gouges. Since the finish was smooth and shiny, I lightly sanded the remainder of the piece with 220-grit sandpaper to give a little roughness for the paint to cling to. I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and painted the base with two coats of Old Ochre.

Painting in progress! |
The top was painted in two coats of Coco which compliments the Old Ochre beautifully. I sealed the table with soft clear wax. I applied a second coat of wax the following day to the top for extra durability.

Top painted in Coco. |
I applied light distressing around the edges of the drawers.

Light distressing around the drawers. |
I didn't distress the diamond shapes as I wanted them to be subtle accents and not take center stage.

Diamond shapes are subtle accents. |
Thanks so much for stopping by!
