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':
During:
After:
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!
Wow! It looks fantastic! You did a great job and it looks very expensive.
ReplyDeleteAh!! I love this!!
ReplyDeleteGreat color, so pretty. I agree with Brook, looks like an expensive piece now.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea...I would have never been brave enough to paint my coffee table a "colour" if I hadn't seen this first! :)

Thank you!
DeleteWhat kind of brush did you use? It looks so smooth! Gorgeous room. Very inviting.
ReplyDeleteI used a Purdy brand brush...but don't be fooled, it looks great from afar but I'm a horrible painter so it definitely has imperfections! But, it was a quick, inexpensive alternative to buying a new set! :)
DeleteGorgeous! I love the blue!
ReplyDeleteLove the makeover! Can you tell me where you got your shelves? I want to re-create your wall hangings. :D
ReplyDeleteShelves and frames are all from Ikea!
