Coffee Table Makeover

So this post is looooong overdue!  Over February vacation I refinished my 'el cheapo' coffee and end tables, turning them both from a boring walnut color to a fun and modern navy blue!  I'm loving all things navy lately...

All of the throw pillows that I made have navy color in the fabric as do the art prints above the couch.  The frames are on Ribba picture ledges from Ikea. My couch is a khaki green color, very difficult to coordinate with, but what better to go with green than navy blue?

Here's what the coffee table looked like 'before':

I used an electric sander to rough up the original varnish before painting two coats of Starless Night by Behr Ultra (from Home Depot, satin finish). I also used brushed nickel spray paint on the hardware.  The result is an inexpensive and easy way to spice up a super boring 'box store' table set!
