lindylouu asked:


I want to renovate my grandparent’s old coffee table, what should I do to it? Should I paint it a solid color, stain it, paint designs on it, paint it with a pattern, a texture? I don’t have any ideas. Any help?

P.s. The table was stained a dark brown but it has a lot of scratches and dings in it. There’s rings from glasses etc.
My room is turquoise And I don’t necessarily want it to match, but I don’t want it to clash.

      The top of the top of leaves or you could laminate some favorite pictures and then varnish them to the coffee table it would make good conversation piece.

      Paint would be best.
      Maybe some shade of brown.
      Put like a plant of the middle of it.
      In mine I got a betta fish in a nice vase.
