Pinky The Table

I bought this Allen + Roth end table a few years back for my apartment when I first moved to Lansing. Now that we are home owners, Alex and I have slowly been shifting our furniture to more eclectic, mid-century modern pieces. That meant I no longer needed this end table, so I flipped it! 😋

Linked Supplies

Detail brushes: I use these CONTANTLY

Paint Brushes: I am partial to Purdy. They are very affordable and great quality. most of my brushes are 2 inches wide, but I always have at least one of each of these on hand:
-Long handle brush with angled edge- the only brush you should ever use for edge (painting wall paint along trim or the ceiling’s edge) it makes painting these spots SO MUCH EASIER. the long handle is key for having control.
-Short brush- you need this when you are painting in tighter spaces like shelves. a long handle is going to get in your way and you are going to have to work around it a lot. Short brushes like this are what you’ll want.

Top Coat Brush: you definitely want a separate brush that you only use for poly coating. this prevents you from getting any paint in your poly, or poly in your paint…. you also want to make sure the brush you use for poly is made of synthetic bristles so it holds up. I’ve had the same one for months now, used it on numerous flips and DIYs, and the bristles are as if I bought it yesterday.

Paint Color: Young at Heart by Clark + Kensington, 1 Quart- Base Premium- Satin Finish

Yellow Accent Paint: Satin Acrylic Paint by Craft Smart 2 oz. (Bright Yellow)

Hardware Paint: Rustoleum Inspire, White- Semi Gloss Finish

Always add BB Frösch to your paint! It makes a HUGE difference.

Hardware Top Coat : Dulicolor Clear Top Coat-you need this to be sure your paint holds up!
***This is my absolute favorite spray paint brand. It’s fast drying and high quality but the nozzle is the biggest reason why I love them. The paint doesn’t spray out in a cone shape like typical spray paint, it’s a fan spray pattern which means it sprays evenly. When I need to use a color that Duli-Color offers I always choose them over the usual pray paint brands. I could not recommend them more! You can find cans at Meijer and automotive stores.

Top Coat: Varathane Clear Satin Water-Based Interior Polyurethane
