Coffee Table Makeover
Home Interior
I have a Shabby Cottage Coffee Table Makeover for you today
Have you ever thought about the difference between a coffee table and a cocktail table?
I never really thought about it. Until I started working on this basic brown cocktail table.
I had to remove the legs to get it in my car. That’s when I noticed the tag on the bottom of the table.
The information on the tag said it was a cocktail table.
It also described the wood, and that it was manufactured in North Carolina.
I realized that yes, maybe when it was brown and had it’s brass knobs, it might be a cocktail table.
but now that I added a little cream,
and sweetened it with the polka dot knobs,
It had to be a coffee table.
As my grandson would say, sweet brown cream coffee table.
be.refreshed.

ArchiveI love this so much! It's neutral enough to go with a variety of decor but has those fabulous touches of whimsy and wow! The striped top and the polka dot drawer pulls are just darling.

I didn't know there was a difference, but I like your cream coffee table, Debbie!
so cute! i am a huge fan of pattern mixing in fashion and decor- stripes with dots, yes. florals with chevrons, of course. love it! so cottage cute!
That looks awesome Debbie!!
Debbie,
You took a coffee {table} 'refreshment' break from the Internet and created this great piece. I think it has a wonderful cottage-coastal vibe.
Welcome back!
Your Friend,
Deborah

Debbie, it is beautiful! Frankly, I always thought the names depended on the owners' preference!
Terrific makeover whatever it is! Thanks for the "Tweet", Helen

That is so pretty! I love the striped top and the soft colors. The knobs are pretty cute too!
That is one amazing coffee table that I would love to rest my cocktail on ...well, on top of a coaster, of course! Wouldn't want to ruin that gorgeous finish!

Love the stripes and the subtle color. The polka dots give the table some pizzazz too!
NICE!!!
never heard of cocktail table...but how many people use coffee tables for coffee? :)
Pinning this to remind me I can turn a typical brown table (coffee or cocktail) into something wonderful.

So cute! Love the fresh stripes and of course the cute knobs!!
So, is a cocktail table taller?
I am going to have to goggle this now... it'll bug me! LOL
Also love the double drawers. This is a Qt, great pick for a makeover.
Glad to have you back from no internet land :)))
I'll drink to that! ...a nice soothing coffee of course.
Your color choices are warm and cheery at the same time.

I am loving the stripes! I'm thinking I may do this to the top of my beachy blue desk.
How fun - looks like a Mackenzie Childs table!

You've outdone yourself, Debbie! I am in love with this coffee/cocktail table (lol)! The stripe is fab, and I love the fun knobs that you chose!
Fabulous! I just love it!
