Refurbishing a Glass Coffee Table
It’s easier than you think to transform a worn-out and old piece of furniture, like a glass coffee table, into something that looks totally refreshed and new. This step-by-step guide will help you in your upcycling adventure.
Step 1: Gather Materials
For this project, you will need the following materials:
- Glass cleaner
- Masking tape
- Chalk Paint (or any paint of your choice)
- Painting supplies (paintbrush, sandpaper, etc.)
- Varnish
Step 2: Clean and Prep the Table
Start off by giving the table a thorough clean with the help of some glass cleaner. This will remove dirt and debris, and it will make it easier for the paint to stick. Once done, use the masking tape to cover the places you don’t want to get painted.
Step 3: Painting
If you choose to use chalk paint, it doesn’t need any additional preparation before you start painting. Depending on the look you want to achieve, you may want to sand down the area before you paint for a different effect. Make sure you paint in thin layers to get an even, smooth finish.
Step 4: Varnish
Once you are happy with the paint job, it’s time to varnish. This is an important step as it will add a protective layer of coating and make the paint last longer. You can choose either a matte or glossy varnish, or you can mix and match to get the look you want.
Step 5: Enjoy Your New Look Table!
Congratulations! You have successfully refurbished your glass coffee table and given it a totally new look. Now all you need to do is enjoy admiring your new creation.
