It is a lovely shade of barn red, which was fine in the early 90's. I've been thinking about painting it for several years, but haven't been brave enough to try it. After
Today at Wal-Mart I bought some Krylon spray paint in Glossy Black. I sprayed and sprayed and sprayed and this is what I came out with.

WOW, thats a huge change!! I just adore it with the black! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of black spray paint myself! I think it looks great! I have been on the lookout for bedside tables too! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Flash photography always shows imperfections in spray painted items that you can't necessarily see in real life, so unless you're unhappy with it in person, I wouldn't bother to repaint.
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the contrasting top, but it would look good painted, too. One alternative to painting it would be to stain it a darker color.
I love it just the way it is! It looks really great. I would leave the contrasting top wood.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I'm glad you changed the knob, because the old one wouldn't have worked. I'm with the previous-commenter who said you should just stain the wood a little darker, but otherwise leave it natural.

Looks great!! Love the new color.
ReplyDeleteLOVE glossy black! It looks great! I like the top being different. Here's a fun finish I did with some end tables that I painted the bottoms black, and did a faux leather finish on the top... http://this-istheyear.blogspot.com/2009/05/mod-podge-mania.html
ReplyDeleteI lurve it!!!! Much better in black. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I liked the red, but I know how you get tired of something and want a change. Isn't spray paint great!

It looks good! From the picture I like the top natural, but I think it would look good painted black, too.

It is so cute!!! Love it - Gives me some inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOoh if the red is peeking through it might give it a fun distressed look. Love it though!

Indeed the table looks nice beside the bed. The color also matched with your bedding. What type of bed skirt do you like? I personally like velcro bed skirt. Anyway I enjoy so much spending sometime in your super organized blog world. Thanks for sharing.
