How To Update A Tiered Side Table

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 LEGS Apply 2 coats of metallic wax to the spindles of the table with a small brush, and smooth the brush strokes with a damp sponge. 

STEP 3: ADD NAIL HEAD TRIM AROUND THE EDGES The final step is to add nail head trim around the edge of the table top.
