If you have a tiered side table that needs an update, this DIY project maybe just want you’re looking for. With paint, metallic wax and nail head trim, you can turn it into the showpiece of your decor.
STEP 1: SAND AND CLEAN
First, remove any existing trims and garnishes. I just pried them off with a small knife, being careful to retain the nail head surround so that I could replace it later.
STEP 2: PAINT THE SURFACE
I used an undercoat because I planned to use latex paint as opposed to chalk paint. (A primer is not necessary if you are using the latter).
STEP 3: APPLY GOLD WAX TO THE LEGSApply 2 coats of metallic wax to the spindles of the table with a small brush, and smooth the brush strokes with a damp sponge.
