I had been looking for two new bedside tables for my master bedroom for several months when I finally came upon these! Yeah, they’re pretty much nothing like I was hoping for however, they have all the elements I wanted. Curves, country and some kind of storage. Of course I had to pop over and buy two little wicker baskets for storage but they fit so perfect it was clearly meant to be!

Everything about those little tables was the wrong color though and oh so fake country – honestly I couldn’t really stand them as they were. But that’s an easy fix!

First I got out my sander, you can see they were already in pretty bad shape (probably from 20 years of people setting wet glasses on them) but I still needed to hit them pretty hard to remove all of the glossy finish and give my paint something to adhere to.

I had black gloss Rustoleum left over for another project so I used it here!

The thing about Rustoleum however is that it is not like normal paint and takes some getting used to. It is also ridiculously expensive and I would NOT have used it here had I not already had some on hand. (Like I said I would have sprayed these tables instead.) It is VERY thick, imagine painting with black glue that sticks to everything and you’ll have a good idea of what you’re getting into with this stuff.

First coat always looks bad and then BOOM second coat and it is just gorgeous. I also like that, because it is so thick, it leaves a texture behind when you put it on with a brush that really reminds me of something old so, of course, it fits right in here.

I did two coats of black Rustoleum (going right over those fake black “hinges” they have on their sides) and now I just love them. I think they fit right in and I can’t wait to show you guys my “new” master bedroom when it is all complete!

    Great paint job! While I’m not a fan of black paint it’s a nice contrast to the white walls and the baskets are great!

    I like these so much better than the ones on your inspiration pic!

    I’m always amazed by what a simple coat of paint can do to transform a piece of furniture. Amazing “save,” Tarah! Thanks for linking up your project with us at Vintage Charm πŸ™‚

    What a beautiful makeover of those tables. It just goes to show what a little elbow grease and paint can do! Thanks for sharing them at Talk of the Town – these will be my feature pick at the party next week.

    Those tables look so much better now! I love your inspiration pics, too, but these really do look like they’ll fit in perfectly when the re-do is complete. Can’t wait to see how it all pans out!

  22. March 17, 2017 at 6:54 pm

    The makeover on these look fabulous and I’m sure you will enjoy them for years. My grandma also had side tables like these and my sister and I used to convert them into double decker Barbie Houses each summer. Brings back great memories. Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty

    • March 17, 2017 at 7:27 pm

      Donna, what an awesome memory! I’ve seen little side tables like these turned into lego tables too, so much fun! Thanks for commenting πŸ™‚

  23. March 20, 2017 at 7:31 am

    Love the contrast of the baskets with the black paint.

  24. March 20, 2017 at 12:38 pm

    Those turned out wonderful. Rustoleum is a good product. I love inspiration photos!

    Gorgeous! My grandma has a few of those. I’ve never seen how I could use that style in my house but now I think I may buy the next ones I find at the thrift store. These turned out pretty farmhouse country, definitely not dated ’80’s country!

    • March 20, 2017 at 3:09 pm

      Thanks Elizabeth! I was worried about them being too “cliche/fake country” but I think with the paint they fit right in in our master bedroom.

  26. March 24, 2017 at 12:24 am

    The changes you made severely change the look…. so glad you are enjoying them. πŸ™‚

    I love those little tables, they turned out great! I don’t know why but I’ve always like that style of little table, I just think they are so cute and the addition of the baskets is a great idea!

      Thanks Tania! They’ve really been working out great for us!

    I would never have thought in a million years to paint something like this with Rustoleum but they look fabulous.

  29. April 14, 2017 at 1:11 am

    Wow! Great job. They turned out fantastic!

    Isn’t it always such a great feeling of accomplishment when the paints dry and you’ve got your pieces in their place? I can’t wait to see your bedroom reveal Tarah! Thanks for sharing your project at Fridays Furniture Fix!

      So very much so!! Thank you Brenda!

  31. May 4, 2017 at 9:38 pm

    What a stunning makeover! I also love the baskets you show with them. Featuring when my party opens up tonight!

  32. May 26, 2017 at 10:33 am

    I remember tables like those from the 60’s & 70’s. Could never reimagined them! Yours look great!

  33. December 12, 2017 at 2:53 am

    Wow, Tarahlynn, you’ve done it again — I saw the Before and thought, oh no, nothing is going to make *these* work, but you’ve turned them into something wonderful!

    • December 12, 2017 at 4:18 pm

      Thank you Jean, it is truly amazing what paint can do!

  34. December 18, 2017 at 2:35 pm

    Wow, Tarah, these look amazing! I’m so impressed by how you turned something pretty basic into something that looks like something you’d find at Restoration Hardware or a similar place! Thank you so much for sharing this post with us at the Hearth and Soul Link Party. I hope you are enjoying the run up to Christmas!
