Alright guys my $30 coffee table took me FOREVER to finish, phew sorry about that. I had a “vision” and I ignored it…. BIG mistake. My vision was the stained top table but I painted the entire thing white and I hated it! I had to sand all of the white paint off and stain the top but it was so worth it!
After I finished sanding the top the little nobs turned more silver colored. It added a little industrial feel that I really liked so I added the industrial wheels to match and to add height.
I’m getting major spring fever so I figured it’s time to use some fresh decor. I found these metal floral prints at Rod Works and couldn’t resist. They are really meant for my bedroom but I’m using them here for now.
I switched out my stenciled curtains for the white curtains I had in my bedroom. They lightened up the room and gave it a fresh new look.
Do ya wanna see what my living room look liked when we first moved in? It was about 3 years ago…. for the LOVE of brown lol ;)
Ahhhh much better! Our new paint color changed the entire feel of our home and its exactly what I was going for!
So have you started switching things up and adding in your spring decor?

Great job with the little table, Erin! My philosophy is “Always go with your GUT and never look back” :))) so stained top it had to be. PS: I’m so gonna steal those gorgeous metal florals of yours!
This is absolutely gorgeous! You did a fabulous job and it was worth the work. It looks stunning.
Thanks Taryn :) I’m so glad I decided to actually listen to my gut!
Gorgeous!!! Love love love it

Love that table transformation, Erin! Wow! Looks like something right out of PB, girl! :) I just redid an end table with that same look that I’ll be selling at the local antique shop this spring!
