White Distressed Coffee Table Ottoman

Hi friends! Happy almost the end of May - can you believe it? 

This year is flying by so fast! 

I have a treat for you today - it's Themed Furniture Makeover day where my furniture loving friends and I share our latest makeovers. 

This month's theme is Red, White, or Blue. 

I guess you can figure out what direction I went with this one...

White!

It all started when came across this coffee table at a local garage sale. I have been searching for the perfect coffee table for  y e a r s (yes years) and this one fit the bill.

It was in perfect condition, sans the glass, and I was super excited that the owner was marking the price down from $20 to $10. Cannot beat that! 

I painted it with Waverly Chalk Acrylic paint in white. 

This picture shows it with just one coat.

I then lightly distressed it on the edges and sealed it with clear Polycrylic Satin. Note: sometimes the poly will yellow the white paint a bit but I actually wanted it that way for this table as I wanted it to look a bit more "aged".

Now on to the ottoman top. 

I gathered my materials: 

1/4" Plywood

1" Project Foam

Thin Batting (not shown) 

Off White Fabric

I layered the materials as shown and then used spray glue adhesive to lightly bond the items together. I wrapped the plywood with fabric and stapled it to the back with a staple gun. I then screwed the entire seating onto the coffee table from the underside, making it into the perfect ottoman seating.

I love the creamy antique white. 

I love the distressing. 

I did Not love the fabric (although I do think it's pretty). It just seemed bla to me once I saw the final product and it was so thin that it showed every crease and bump.

I then found a creamy thicker upholstery fabric.



It doesn't have as much detail to it but it's soft and now will go well with my overall vision for it in my space: my Master Bedroom.

Excuse the various color tones, it is very difficult to photograph anywhere in my house in this room.

Hence the reason why I usually photograph my furniture makeovers outside.

I matches my headboard perfectly!...

...and even goes well with my DIY Headboard Bench.

I love the look of it with my DIY planked wall.

The room is finally coming together and I think the Repurposed Coffee Table Ottoman fits right in perfectly!
