New End Tables

Disclosure I give all credit to my mom on this one. She scouted these side tables in our friend’s garage sale and knew she could do something great with them. They were originally in a single guy’s bedroom, hence the masculine dark brown finish.

My mom loves a project and has been inspired by one of our favorite design studios and Dallas. They take dressers, end tables, desks, and then update them with a coat of lacquer paint in either white or a range of colors.

I brought my mismatched white end tables from house to house to apartment over the past five years. They were from Home Goods and cute, very cute. But as my mom said, the symmetry of the new matching tables just “anchors” the room - LOL but true.

We used Benjamin Moore high gloss lacquer in Ice Blue. The hardware was then brushed up and they came out perfect. See below for our inspiration! *Let me add that these were professionally painted. When it comes to lacquer I wouldn’t trust either of us.

My living room:

End Tables - garage sale find, painted (similar: white and blue)
Lamps - originally from Home Goods (similar: spend and save)
Assouline Hamptons and Palm Beach books
Rug
Couch - old
Pillows - custom
Painting - by my dad!

Okay mom, what’s next?
