Patricia on May 04, 2016I'd white wash it and distress it for a shabby chic look and it would brighten up the room, too.Helpful Reply

Nikki on May 04, 2016I think it would look great painted white, sand the edges and then wipe over the entire piece with a dark stain or glaze, that will give it a lighter antique distressed look. And I think keeping it a little warmer then a bright white will look great with your red sofa too.Helpful Reply

Tiffani Taylor on May 04, 2016Chalk paint in white, then use glaze or wax with brown hues to highlight the distressing. As for the hardware, it would probably be really nice if they were painted with an oil rubbed bronze color.Helpful Reply

MN Mom on May 04, 2016I had a coffee table like this and painted the base and legs. Then I gave the top a fresh coat of stain snd it really made a huge difference for little cost.Helpful Reply

M&M Embellishments on May 04, 2016I love that hardware! It's all in the details! And I personally love the curved legs. Have you heard of Velvet Finishes Paints? It's not a chalk paint - goes on much easier and smoother than my experience with chalk paint. Check it out at velvetfinishes.com. Kellie is also here on HOmetalk, @Kellie from Design Asylum I recently found these paints and really love them. Another thing you might want to check out is Ceruse. One of my friends here on Hometalk, Beth H. Makemeprettyagain.blogspot has a post about it. It's very unique and I've also seen it done with a whitewashed look instead of the black.Helpful Reply

Ruby77 on May 18, 2016I would paint the legs and base white but stain the top a bit darker. I would then anchor the seating group with a beautiful area rug. That is a must.Helpful Reply
