Infusing Color Throughout The Living Room

My living room project is now one step closer to completion. To say it’s progressed slowly is a gross understatement but it’s getting there. Time and money are always an issue.

I purchased this side table about 4 years ago and it no longer matches anything in our home so it became the perfect candidate for my next paint project. I apologize for the crummy before pic, this was the best of the bunch.

Side Table Before

Thankfully my little table didn’t need any kind of extra special care; just a quick wipe down with a de-greaser and a couple of coats of Zinsser Cover Stain. This was my first time using it in a spray and I will most definitely be using it again for small to medium sized projects. It covers nicely and dries super quick.

I chose Rustoleum’s Fern. The cap color is much darker than the actual paint. The photo below is a truer representation of the actual color. I haven’t spray painted many things so I’m not sure if that’s just how it is.

I’ll spare you the in between painting pics and jump right to the finished product, which I heart big time.

I can’t pass this little corner of the room without smiling. It’s such a great color!

  • I love it! This color is great – I’ve been looking for something similar that isn’t so “apple green” – thanks for sharing! ( I also LOVE the blue on that wall we get a peek at through the doorway!) ~L

  • Bella…… how cute is that???? I’m always amazed at the finish people get on furniture when they spray paint it. I must do something wrong, I’ll have to practice.

  • [...] be in our bedroom but has made a new home for itself in our living room to offer more seating.  My little green console table fits nicely in the odd little nook. Don’t ask me why or what the home builders were thinking [...]
