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.

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

September 4, 2012 at 10:17 pmI 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.
