Beautiful Painted Side Table Makeover

Sharing is caring!

I love all shades of blue and turquoise, but there’s one particular shade that I can’t get enough of. Inky shades of blue-green just call to me. I don’t purposely seek out these colors, but there’s just something about them that I just can’t resist. It’s no surprise that I was drawn to Jitterbug by Country Chic paint. As soon as it came in the mail, I knew that it was perfect for a side table that I had in my garage. It was a cute table, but I knew that a beautiful paint color could make this table even better. This painted side table is gorgeous now!

This post is sponsored by Country Chic Paint. Country Chic Paint provided me with paint for this project, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. I would never recommend products that I wouldn’t buy or use on my own.  

Painted Side Table Makeover

Supplies

  • Country Chic Paint in Jitterbug
  • Country Chic Clear Coat
  • Country Chic Oval Paint Brush

Before

My small side table wasn’t too bad to begin with, but red is not my favorite color.A painted side table makeover goes from boring to beautiful. #paintedfurniture #countrychicpaint #sidetable #paintingfurniture

The table has a fun shape, nice legs and the cutest little drawer ever. Side tables are one of my favorite things to paint because you can transform a piece of furniture in just a few hours. I also love the versatility of side tables since they can go in almost every room of the house. A painted side table makeover goes from boring to beautiful. #paintedfurniture #countrychicpaint #sidetable #paintingfurniture

After

I gave it a quick wipe down and got to work painting it. The oval brush works great with small sample pots. Don’t forget to stir the paint well!A painted side table makeover goes from boring to beautiful. #paintedfurniture #countrychicpaint #sidetable #paintingfurniture

The paint covered so well because the red was so dark to begin with. It was almost 1 coat coverage! Painting over previously painted furniture is usually pretty easy.

With tables like these, I start by flipping them upside down and painting that coat first. Once it’s dry, do any touch ups that are needed. Then flip it right side up and get any spots you missed, plus the top. One sample jar was more than enough for this table. I could probably finish 2 more tables this size with one jar.A painted side table makeover goes from boring to beautiful. #paintedfurniture #countrychicpaint #sidetable #paintingfurniture

After the paint was dry, I finished the piece with Country Chic clear coat. We had a rare spell of warm weather, so I worked outside in the sunshine. The color looks weird because of that glorious sun, but it was worth it to get to sit in the warm sunshine.

My side table got 3 coats of clear coat and now it’s gorgeous. I love how the clear coat doesn’t change the color, just enhances it. Country Chic Clear Coat works best when you use long brush strokes. This minimizes overlap that messes up your finish. A painted side table makeover goes from boring to beautiful. #paintedfurniture #countrychicpaint #sidetable #paintingfurniture

Jitterbug is a nice color for people who might be a little bit color shy. It’s dark enough to feel like a neutral, but still feel interesting.

It looks amazing with green.

Jitterbug is the perfect, moody blue-green. What can I say? I’m in love.

When the table was finished, I added buffalo check paper to the drawer. I had a small piece left over from the dresser that I just lined with it.
