Pottery Barn Inspired Kids' Table Makeover

Pin It

I really love Pottery Barn's style, but I really don't love their prices.


This was my inspiration:

A sweet little table in the Addition for my girls to scatter their crayons on and fight over Polly Pockets share some special moments.


I was very patient, and one day I stumbled across perfection at Salvation Army's "Make a Deal Saturday."

Well, I know it doesn't look like perfection here, but I had a plan! I haggled the manager down to $10 for the whole set and managed to fit it in the back of my Trailblazer along with a double stroller.


Close-up:

Yeah, okay, it was pretty bad.


I started by cleaning it and slathering about 5 coats of primer on top. That dark stuff is hard to cover up! 


Then the set received several coats of the white paint that we used on the trim and baseboards in the Addition. Already had it on hand, so it was FREE!


My friend Andrea (the sewing guru who helped me with my other Salvation Army furniture makeover) helped me measure and cut new foam and fabric for the cushions because, y'all, those things were nasty!! Orangey old moldy corduroy that was way past its prime.  


Final product:

I think the clients were pleased!
