HELP! This table needs a lift!


What on Earth should we do with this entry table?? When we moved from Hawaii to Texas the movers JACKED up the varnish on this baby BAD. The top is absolutely hideous and needs to be saved! The options are ENDLESS I know, that's why I'm getting an expert opinion from the blogosphere. Should I paint it? Stain it? Throw it away? Change the knobs? Stencil? 

Leave a comment below and let us know what YOU would like to see happen to this piece, and we will post the results in the near future!

  1. Maybe distress it? It sounds like some of the work was already done for you. Stain it a new color? Something a little more warmer? hmmmm.

  2. Paint it an awesome color, then distress it! Also, new knobs would be fantastic ;)

  4. Paint or stain it to compliment the mirror above, and get new pulls either in a fancy glass design/color or match the finish for the hooks on the mirror.

  5. I would say paint it some fun color and new hardware. If you are going for the modern look, don't distress but if you like the shabby chic, then distress it a little bit. Don't throw that away! It has so much potential! You will do a fabulous job!

  6. Throw it away? Are you crazy? I agree it would look great painted. You could even do a pattern on the top... like a chevron or houndstooth or something. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
