I don't know why I put this project off for so long. After I get an idea in my head and then finally do it I always say to myself why didn't I do this sooner. Do you do that, too? I know you do.
I wasn't real sure what color I wanted to use, but am quite pleased at what I came up with.
This is the before. Just a plain pine table.
Here she is with her new color. It is a pretty greenish blue called silver mist by Sherwin Williams. I already had this paint sample since I had used this on my lamps Here.
Of course I couldn't leave it like that. I had to distress it and glaze it.
Just look at that old worn look.
Of course I had to shine her up, too.
Just look at that shine!
Then I had to put her accessories back on.
I sure couldn't leave her nekkid. Now the table color has more of a country French color.
I love how the new color has made the color in these flowers come out. I didn't even realize they were a blue tint.
This shows some more of the sanding and glazing I did.
Here she is at night with just the glow from the lamps.

Hi Kim! Oh I absolutely love this! After all of those opinions that were shared, you went with what your gut told you and it is, of course, absolutely perfect! I look forward to the tutorial because I may just try this one of these days!
Vanessa
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
Wow! Kim this is gorgeous in it's new color. Lovely and elegant. :)
Amazing what big change a small change will make--like seeing your lamps in a new way ... and more!
It looks oh la la Kim! Great job! Can you tell me what you used to "shine" it up?
Hugs,
Penny
I love the way it turned out...and the wicker basket below is wonderful! Just what I love in a room! Your decorations are so pretty for the Fall! ♥
Kim, your new table looks FaBuLoUs!!! I love the distressed look, just lovely! Can I bottle your energy? I would love to know how you find the time to do so many WONDERFUL things to your home, amazing!
XO ~Liz
I love what you did with the table! That color is perfect
Penny, I use minwax finishing paste wax and elbow grease.
Love it! Love your home. If you ever want to house swap - I live near Lake Tahoe...... Of course, you would have to decorate my home while I was away. Ha!
Thanks Karen. That sounds very tempting. Never been and I hear it is quite beautiful.
Great job Kim. Very pretty.
Ooooooohh, I LIKE it!
Suzanne
Whew Kim, I can't keep up with you girlfriend...between projects and posts, no wonder my butt is growing in size. Well I love the way this turned out. I remember thinking initial to leave it as is...but now after seeing it, I love how it turned out...it really goes well with the rest of your pieces and style, it just updated it.
How prety -I would not have thought to pair this color with the red sofa. -Okay the big question before the tutorial is what color glaze did you use and then what did you apply to get the shine ?
Really updates the table! Love the distressing too!
Jody
You did a wonderful job! I love it.
Karen
Kim,
I need to come and take personal lessons from you. I honestly think that you paint a table (and other things)better than anyone I know.
Do you buff it with Mimwax? ANd what glaze do you use?
I just got a beautiful glaze, sorta golden and transparent, from Lowes.
I am painting my sofa table since I got new furniture.It is a golden oak, but has nice lines. If I could do half the job that you did I would be thrilled!!!!
Your table is just lovely, as is all of your decor!
I think I could just move into your home and be so happy! YOu have stunning stlye!
Yvonne
Hi Kim, when you first mentioned painting your pine table awhile back I thought...oh why it looks so pretty! But I LOVE the way it turned out! I love the color and the distressing, and how pretty it looks all decked out for fall!
Great job as always!
Kat :)
Gorgeous makeover Kim. I love that paint color.
Yvonne, you are too kind. For those who have asked. I use Valspar glaze in mocha from Lowe's. I use minwax finishing paste wax in natural or clear(not sure what it says). They also make the wax in colors. I will probably post a tutorial tomorrow.
WOW.. this is so beautiful... you should open a little gallery...and call it Savy Southern Style. And.. your "brand".. on all your pieces? -sSs-
Hi Kim, your sofa table looks fabulous! What a fun change ... you are so talented! I may be coming to you for advice when/IF I paint the buffet table in the kitchen! LOL. And, yes(!), there are so many projects I've done where I say to myself "why I didn't do this before?"
YUM! nuff said.....
Your table looks fabulous. Pretty color and your have distressed it perectly. Your vignette is just stunning. You really do have such lovely things. Hugs, Marty
Beautiful, Kim! You really do a wonderful job on the distressing and finishing! Looking forward to that tutorial!!
That looks beautiful. I love the colour you chose. I find it so difficult picking just the right colour, but you did a fantastic job! I've been working on 3 pieces of furniture to refinish/paint, but it's taking me forever!!!!!! Guess it is a bit tricky to find the time with a 3 and 6 year old =)
Love the silver mist! Good choice.
What a beautiful transformation! I love everything you did! From the choice of color to the distressing and the shine on it! It is beautiful!
Sandra
Beautiful Kim, it actually draws my eye to the fireplace more as well. I love it,as always:) Thanks for the suggestion on the logs! I will do that after Halloween, and take a pic for you!
I love what you did with this table! The color, the distressing, the shine...Everything! Beautiful!
Kim, I love the new look! The color is perfect and now your lamps really stand out. Looks great!
xo, Sherry
Oh so lovely! And it makes your gorgeous lamps stand out VERY nicely!
You do a very good job with painting furniture. I love the new color. It looks so really nice with those lamps. I look forward to reading the tutorial.
Kim,
Great job. I liked the table before and I like it now, so a win/win situation!
Hi Kim,
Another inspiring project. You are truly amazing, and I love everything you do. This table is gorgeous! Peggy
Fabulous tranformation!
Kim, I just love that table painted. It just changes the enitre look of the table. From a plain pine table to a country french chic sofa table. You always do the most amazing projects. You are lucky your husband doesnt mind this. All of the projects you do are just awesome!! Love them.
Soooooo pretty! It makes all of your treasures just pop right out! Who knew? I wish I was as brave as you when it comes to painting things up...if I keep reading your blog, maybe someday I will take the plunge! Thanks for sharing your newfound talents in the paint world!
Gorgeous! :)
Beautiful, Kim! Love the color you chose. Your lamps and decor really pop on that color. Nicely done!
Oh My Gosh!! This transformation is so wonderful!! Just sent it over the top! Great color and you did so awesome on the distressing. Distressing makes me nervous! And the shine? PERFECT!!
Oh this is SO pretty!!
Lou Cinda :)
Love it. You are really good at this technique. It does look great with the lamps!
Love the look of this Kim. What a great color!
Kim- That turned out to be an absolutely fabulous piece. It was pretty before but I LOVE it this way. You did a great job on it and you are right-it picks up that silverish-bluish tint in your vase. I would be interested to know how you got the sheen (polished look) on the finished piece. A tutorial would be wonderful if you have the time to do it! Hugs- Diana
THat is really fantastic. Kim, you are really getting very good at this painting, glazing, distressing thing. You need to start selling pieces girl! Tell Karen you are coming to Charleston first. It is a lot closer than Lake Tahoe!!
Great job Kim!! Love this blue grey french colour. I want to paint my hutch this colour.
It looks great, Kim. I have a pine table very similar this is great inspiration.
Very pretty color. Love that shine. How does paste wax hold up compared to polyurethane? I've never tried it.
Golly-Pop! You are so awesomely talented! I so wish I had your gumption!!
What a difference! Are you giving lessons? It looks perfect!
I had to jump back and forth, looking at the Before and the After. The After is so dramatic, it's almost impossible to believe that the only thing that changed was the color of the table. It's PERFECT!! Love it!
I love it! I wish I had your patience - talent - eye......for how to make something look this good.
Ohhhh so pretty....love the new color!!! The lamps really do pop now! Gorgeous!
~Des
Hi Kim...what a differance the paint makes. SO much nicer then the pine...it makes everything just pop with color...it appears to match the lamp shades and I love that big basket underneath...You did a great job.
Hi Kim,
I love the color you chose. I used a very similar one on my GW pine coffee table. But, I didn't distress or glaze it, and that looks fantastic! You must be very careful and patient, your pieces always look so professional when you finish them!
Great job.

Wow, you are really good at painting and glazing furniture. Your sofa table turned out fabulous. What a difference.
wow, its a beautiful thing, and you have done wonders with it, being capable with your hands is a great thing and you have used your talent very aptly,
I kind of cringe when I see nice wood furniture being painted but your end result looks great. After closer inspection from you wonderful photos I can see what a fine job you have done. Now if I can convince myself to do my pine kitchen table and get your results I'll be happy.
Kim, you just do the most amazing work. I LOVE it!! I wish I had a smidge of your creativity and energy!!
So nice!!!
love it!!!!
happy weekend
Yolanda
Kim, that table is out of this world! What an awesome transformation, I am always in awe of all you can do, you are a great talent sweet friend.
Enjoy your day~
Nancy
Love the color Kim! What a great job you did...it looks like a brand new peice you just purchased! Love all your fall decor:)
I was thinking oh no, when you said you were painting it, but OH WOW. How wonderful. You really have a talent there. Explain the waxing please?
Kim, great job on the table. I am becoming a huge fan of paint these days and have several projects in mind. I can identify with "having it in my head" and just not getting it done! Linda
I adore that color. And the distressing and glazing are very pretty. You REALLY should start doing this as a business. You could buy pieces off Craigslist and then sell them at a boutique type store!
You have proven once again you are the master at painting and distressing furniture. I love this table! So perfect! Oh if I only had your talent and patience! Excellent job!
I do prefer the change. You did a wonderful job on that table and it looks gorgeous all decked out for fall.
Manuela
Beautiful! You HAVE to post a tutorial. I have a pine bench my husband bought me about 10 years ago that is just natural yellow pine. I've wanted to paint it or do something to it for years but I've never know just how to paint/distress it. Please tutor me, oh Master Home Redecorator. lol
Kim, you did it again...a beautiful transformation. I couldn't believe you were going to paint that pine sofa table...but then I should have known you would create a masterpiece!!! You are so inspiring and talented. I just love reading your blog and seeing your home and yard. Thank you so much for sharing your world. I look forward to your tutorial.
xoxo
Kathi
Kim...this turned out beautifully! I love it! I liked it before and I LOVE it now...and you have it dressed perfectly! Love love love!
Enjoy!
Cathy
I just checked out your gorgeous antlers! I love the new arrangement...can't wait to see what you put there next;)! I have a little collection of horns too I love the ones that have the dates on them...I love knowing that they are so old!
Enjoy!
Cathy
those lamps really pop now...graet job!
The table turned out gorgeous!!! I was going to ask all the details on how you did it, but then I read there will be a tutorial soon. Can't wait!!!
What a fantastic makeover. You did a wonderful job!
Stop by and collect your clues. The largest giveaway in Decor To Adore history will be revealed next Friday.
Kim I just love the way the table looks painted. Your lamps are a standout on the table now. You are just so good at doing these things. You have alot of talent and are so lucky that your husband supports your projects.
Thanks for the how to! This looks lovely. Who'd of thunk red would look so great with tourquoise!
Kim.... Luv luv luv the table... what a difference paint makes. Looking forward to your tutorial. Have a great weekend.
OOOh Kim...it's beautiful! I agree....you need to open a little gallery of your great finds. Or... better yet, you could just come visit me at my home. I'm just up the road, well.... the interstate in North GA. Keep hoping I'll run into you at Pottery Barn. Sounds like one of your favs. You have a BEAUTIFUL home. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Love the refinishing on your table and how you decorated it for fall. Great job. Decgal
Gorgeous! Love the color.
I am writing down the name of the color you used. I am going to be making major changes in my livingroom and there is some furniture in desperate need of fixing up. This color and distressing would be perfect for our room. Thanks for sharing, it looks great.
What a transformation. I love the new look. Doesn't it give you a lift everytime you walk by it. I have been wanting to paint my sofa table for some time now and you gave me the inspiration. Thanks, I look forward to your tutorial.
Absolutely lovely!!! I'll be glad to read your tutorial, for I'm wondering how you got your piece to shine like that!
I love your house! We have the same style and I love to see what you are doing. I don't know how you get all the energy to do the projects but they all turn out great!
Gorgeous!
The table was pretty before but now it's just beautiful. I love the color and the distressing. Just lovely!
Your table looks great!!
You did a fabulous job on it, Kim! I have that EXACT same table ha! Been wondering if I should go white or frenchy silver! Now I know! I did replace the knobs with metal lion heads. But I've been painting, silver leafing, and rub n buffin my wood frames. Stop by for a look when you get a chance!
Cheers!
Tina
You know, When I first saw the pine table, I thought - that is pretty and it looks really good. But now...Wow! It looks fantastic. You picked the perfect color and distressed & glazed it just right. I really like it so much better. You did an excellent job. I also love how you can coordinate your accessories with your painted pieces.
Fabulous! You continually amaze me, Kim. You make it look so easy, but I know it is a lot of work and takes skill. Thanks for the tutorial above. ~ Sarah
Love it and how well it worked with the room!
hi i like the blog very much.
Thank you for showing the step by step process-Esp how you apply the glaze I truly had no idea how -I have all these wonderful pieces from Craig's List that I have been collecting -I will attempt my first piece tomorrow -I'll let you know how it turns out :-) Thnak you so much for taking all the time to explain , take pictures put it all together -even driving to your husband's work to post to your readers-
I really love the color of this table. You do just the right amount of distressing and glazing on your pieces and I love that. Sometimes it can be over done. But this is gorgeous!
the sofa table looks lovely what a difference some paint makes iam telling ya Girl you should buy cheap pices and sell them you seem to enjoy it so much
Great job as usual. It turned out really pretty!
Wow! 97 comments! You probably won't notice one more!
I missed this post and glad I scrolled down to see it! The table turned out just awesome and I love it there with the vignettes!
I saw this earlier in the week in my "mad dash of looking at blogs" but can't remember if I commented...it's stunning! I do LOVE the color! And you distressed it perfectly, I think. Thanks so much for linking it up to Style Feature Saturday!! -shaunna :)
I love this sofa table. The color is so unique and beautiful, as is the distressing and glazing!
