Coffee Table Interventions

Coffee table makeovers are super fun and here’s why:

1. They are not hard to find.  I bet you could pick up a coffee table from a thriftstore today for like, nine dollars.

2. They are small, thus they are not overwhelming projects to tackle.  You could start and finish a coffee table makeover in the time it takes to watch a few episodes of Girlfriend Intervention.  (Please tell me I’m not the only one watching this show.  I don’t want to be alone in this place).

3. They are a perfect blank canvas to really get creative on, being you know, flat and all. Plus, if you don’t like how it turns out … see #1.

Asia certainly got creative with her coffee table makeover.  You wont even recognize it! It totally fits with her feminine and shabby chic style now. It’s like it was the star of an episode of Girlfriend Intervention! (No really, please watch it with me). See more at Under A Creative Spell.

At first it was like:

But now it’s all:

girlfriends2You know what I’m saying girlfriend? I think you do.

 

Here’s another from Christy at Confessions of a Serial Do-it-Yourselfer. She ditched that nasty yellow-toned table like a holey pair of sweatpants and dolled it up with a black and white stencil that really shows off its curves.  It’s ready for a night out on the town! Get it girl!

I think I may need the intervention …

    Both of those makeovers are fantastic. I usually don’t care for shabby chic, but that one was lovely. It looks like it could be in a fancy boutique store for lots of $$. I’d put the black and white one in my house.

    Can’t believe I’m saying this, because normally I am not a fan of destroying a gorgeous wood stain in favor of paint, but I must admit I like Asia’s redo. I love the colors, pulls and embellishments. Will definitely keep this pic in a file for ‘someday’, when I just may meet a damaged coffee table in need of some TLC… Thanks for sharing!

    Ok, so after reading this I had to track down Girlfriend Intervention, and now I’m pretty much hooked. Yes. Hooked.

      Haha, yes, it’s addicting! I’m still trying to get over the fact that they start the show by saying “Inside every basic white woman is a strong black woman waiting to get out,” but other than that, it’s the best. 😉
