I stumbled upon this great round table at Goodwill and although I've never refinished one of these, I figured why the heck not! These tables are classic and look good in just about anyone's home. Why hadn't I tried it before? Who knows.
But I'm doing it now and that's what counts.
I see this table in a grand entry way, I think it would be the perfect piece to greet your guest.
Or of course you could go the traditional route and use it as a dining room table.
Check out the beautiful refinished top in dark walnut. The pattern is so lovely.
I used the same color/technique as this dresser
looks great kat! love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful! Wonderful job!!
ReplyDeleteI love that stained top! Great choice.
ReplyDeletei love these tables! pedestal dining tables are my favorite! maybe because they don't have several legs to paint... ;) LOVE it! the color looks AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteWOW.WOW.WOW.
ReplyDeletethat's all I can say - lol
oh and " it's gorgeous " can manage that too!
:)
Great job! I'm so glad you didn't paint the top, the grain is gorgeous! - Susan
ReplyDeleteOh it is stunning. Love the color and the top turned out gorgeous. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteOk I love this one!!
ReplyDeleteThat might be my favorite pedestal table redo in blogland. For real. The color on the base is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe color and distressing is perfection! I think this is my favorite pedestal table redo ever!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I love what you've done with it. I love the trend of having two colors for the tabletop and base. Your's is the perfect example of how to do it well.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this! Simply gorgeous! Great job!

You did an awesome job on this table! I have the exact style table (which I also found at Goodwill) but it's a coffee table. I love what you've done with the two tone colors. Beautiful. I found your post on DIY showoff (I am a new blogger and new to that party) and I am now your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying looking back through your blog and I'm now following.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen: This table is gorgeous! We have an old table similar to this, but unfortunately the top of it is trashed, and I need to come up with something for the top. Thank you for adding to my inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love this table. You did an amazing job! Thanks for stopping by my blog. My chalk paint recipe is 1 cup latex paint and 1/2 cup baking soda. If it's too thick add some more paint or a little bit of water. It should be a little thick (like pudding). It will be rough when it dries but use 220 grit paper and it will be smooth like butter. Good luck, you will love it!
ReplyDeleteI have round table envy...bad. This is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, your Goodwill has some great stuff! Love this table.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I want one! Saw your table on Better After and had to come tell you how pretty it is. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I'm here from Better After. :)
ReplyDeleteI just saw your table on Better After, and I had to "run" over here to tell you I'm so in love with it I could DIE! No really, WHAT is that bottom color and how did you do the "glazing/distressing?" I literally just bought a table almost identical to this at GW for TEN BUCKS and I want to redo it and now I want to redo it JUSt like yours. haha Seriously, it's gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE TABLE, THE COLOR IS BEAUTIFUL, I WOULD LOVE TO FEATURE IT, IF THIS WOULD BE OK , DROP ME A LINE,
ReplyDeleteLAUREN
Hello - do you have a tutorial for the base?? Thank you
ReplyDeleteI have that same table as well and it is in SERIOUS need of help on the table top. How did you get it to look so good? Did you have to sand it? Please help me out. I just love thi!
ReplyDeleteI love how you restored this table. I have a table with similar veneer buckling. How did you do the top? Did you replace the veneer or do a faux on it?
ReplyDeleteDear MizLiz,
ReplyDeleteThank you! The top did not have veneer, it was solid wood. But if you have rippled veneer it's best to try and pry it all off, and sand like crazy to get it smooth again. It's hard work but worth it in the end.
Is the round table w/blue base and walnut top, for sale please? Also, if it is - what are the dims and price?
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Debbie (ddj@numail.org)
