6. Vintage Inspired Distressing Makeover
If you love farmhouse, shabby chic, or antique inspired decor, a distressed side table makeover might be perfect for your home. Distressing adds charm and a lived in look to furniture.
Begin by painting the table in a solid color. Once dry, use sandpaper to gently scrape away paint along the edges, corners, and areas that would naturally wear over time. For a layered effect, paint the table in two colors (such as white over gray) and distress the top coat to reveal the base color underneath.
To complete the vintage look, seal the table with clear wax or satin finish. This makeover adds character and complements rooms with romantic, country, or soft neutral styles.
