Darla on Jun 03, 2015The table top looks kind of rough, so why don't you paint it her favorite color and leave the rest of it as is? And cover the stool with a coordinating fabric.Helpful Reply

Mark F. on Jun 03, 2015Table in bad shape. Paint with chalk paint. No prep needed. All you do is paint, let dry and then apply soft clear wax. I would check out Annie Sloan chalk paint and tutorials on YouTube.Helpful Reply

Tina Tocci on Jun 03, 2015I would definately paint it. You can use chalk paint or sand lightly and spray paint. It just depends on the look you want. I refinished a desk that was in bad shape. I spray painted it after sanding and it is almost indestructable.Helpful Reply

Allison Puetz-Valentin on Jun 04, 2015I recently found a coffee table and I am in the process of refinishing it. Talk about the time to strip, sand, stain, stain some more, sand and not to mention the poly process! I believe painting would be much simpler especially with chalk paint.Helpful Reply

Kris bunch on Jun 04, 2015For a little girl or young lady I would absolutely paint it her favorite color or to make it chic paint it an off white and maybe distress it. Chalk paint would be the easiest and now they have small cans at the craft stores. You may have to mix your own color. Then reupolster the seat with a cute heavyweight fabric and she will love it! Good luck!Helpful Reply

Alecia Hartman on Jun 04, 2015I would consider the furniture in her room. I prefer to have it flow, but that is all in personal preference. Keep in mind that painting is easier than refinishing. There are also other options such as tinted polyurethane. I have done each of these, it just depends on where I intended on using the piece and what look I was going for.Helpful Reply

Lisa Cain on Jun 04, 2015Painting is easier, but if you have a Hand Sander available, they are so easy and lightweight to use. Hand sand the top, and then use MinWax Sheen (about $7.99 and available in many different stain colors) over the entire piece. It's easy, just wipe on and wipe off. I just used it for the top of a dresser project I did, and it looked GREAT. And if you want to add color, just paint the inside of those side pieces next to the mirror. They probably pop out, or you could just paint right inside them.Helpful Reply

Ltt834476 on Jun 05, 2015I'm doing one myself for my 3 year granddaughter. Distressed look with antique white as my first coat and light pink on top coat. Changing the hardware to bling bling. Considering using feathers around the mirror for more bling & shabby chic look. Using the pink Paris material to re-do bench found at Hobby Lobby. Hope this helps with yours. Good luck!Helpful Reply
