Side Table Makeover With Faux Mercury Glass Top
1 Day
Easy
It's been a while since I had the spare time to tackle a furniture project. I've had this little side table hanging around a while so I had a vision in mind but wasn't sure I could achieve it. I thought the faux mercury glass effect would be complicated...it was quick and easy! All you need is Looking Glass spray paint, vinegar & water.
I painted this side table with Plaster Paint? Have you ever tried it? It's da-bomb -- really, I'm not kidding! Anyway, the colors I used were Sweet Cream & Latte Ice and then sealed it with Plaster Paint liquid wax.
To see more pics and see the full transformation, please hop on over to the blog. We'd love to know what you think!

Love how easy the faux mercury glass was to do and it turned out better than I thought!
Two coats and you could already begin to see the mirror effect.
This is what the table looked like when we began. First off I brushed on a new base coat then sealed it. Added a pretty white top coat and wet distressed to achieve a natural worn look then finished it off with sealer.
I decided to leave the top completely natural for a rustic look that we think pairs beautifully with the creamy white base.
