Yes this is a gold and white stenciled table makeover, but that just sounds so boring, doesn’t it? This is definitely not a boring table. Once in a while, all the stars align and a project comes together exactly like I imagined- this is one of those times. <3 I hope you love it too!
Today is Themed Furniture Makeover Day, and this month we were challenged to create a two-tone project. (See all the previous TFMD posts and themes HERE.) If you scroll all the way down you can see all of my friends’ makeovers too.
My mom sent me a fuzzy cell phone pic of this table at the thrift store (she’s always looking out for me!) and I fell in love with the shape – it reminds me of the Coliseum. I paid more than I normally would but it was worth it!
First, because of the reddish wood I primed the whole thing. Red tends to bleed through light colored paint, and I didn’t want to take any chances. (Plus Modern Masters recommends this brand of primer for their metallic paints.)
I also used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® in Old White, Modern Masters metallic paint in Olympic Gold, and finally MasterClear polyurethane to protect it all.
After painting the two shelves in Old White, I stenciled the Lisboa Tile Stencil from Royal Design Studio – and I really believe the combination of Chalk Paint®, metallic gold paint, and the Lisboa stencil made some magic! 😉
The rim and eight legs all got about 3 coats of Olympic Gold, and all of it was protected with the MasterClear poly.
Here’s how the top turned out:
It looks so gorgeous when the light shines on it and makes it shimmer!

Have a fabulous day!

Gorgeous makeover! I love the gold and white!

STUNNING! Not normally attracted to gold but this is gorgeous! Loved the original table but you stepped it up several notches! I have a similar table, not as nice, and have been trying to get inspired on what to do to make it special. I think I just found my inspiration! Thank you!

Whenever I see the magic bloggers do it always amazes me what a coat of paint (or 2 or 3) do for a piece of furniture to give it a new life. You sure made that table (love the style) shine in more ways than one. It’s gorgeous. I’m not usually a lover of gold but the gold really made this table wonderful. The stencil helped to give it awesome detail on top. Love legs on your table, you’ did great job. Happy weekend
Sherry Fram says
Talk about turning a sow’s ear into a silk purse!! Love the stencil you used for the table top and the gold against the white is just classy!
Leanne says

Stunning makeover and very unique! Helpful tip on using the primer first, too.
Jen says
Thank you Amy! Have a beautiful Sunday 🙂
Liz says
Love it!!!! It’s inspiring me to update my furniture. Did you use the metallic top coat over the chalk white paint also?
Jen says
Liz, thank you! 🙂 Yes, I used MasterClear over all of it. I didn’t want to wax everything and lose some of the metallic shine – and I thought about waxing over the white before I stenciled, and then doing the MasterClear on top at the end. Finally I just crossed my fingers – and it really turned out great! I have heard of people using other protectants besides wax over Chalk Paint® and they seem to like it. If it weren’t for the metallic paint, I would’ve just used wax though – it has such a durable finish once it cures.
Liz says
Thanks for the info!! I’m going to buy my paints soon.
Deana says
Beautiful!! I love Modern Metallic paint. You did a great job.

Jen….I recently discovered your website via Pinterest. What an inspiration you are and thanks for all the tips that you offer on your site. I just recently decided to “flip furniture” and I can’t wait to get started now.
Jen says
Thanks so much Carol – good luck with your new obsession! 🙂
Linda says
My husband and I really like the gold paint. Did you only use the one 6oz bottle?
Found this via Pinterest. It has inspired me to resume crafting, which has taken a back seat to quilting the last year or so. 🙂
Jen says
Linda – Yes, just the small bottle. Even after the couple coats that I painted on this table, I didn’t even use the entire bottle. 🙂
