Painter's Tape
I chose to refresh my husband's grandmother's old sewing table that we acquired a few years ago. This piece is solid with great bones, and I’ve transformed it into a great side table for our family room.
- I recommend painting outside. First, remove all hardware and hinges that require painting.
- Give your piece of furniture a thorough cleaning and remove any dust or debris.
- Spray the hardware with Universal Metallic Copper Rose paint. I recommend two coats, with ample drying time in between.
- For the table, spray the sides, back and legs with Painter’s Touch Satin Black. If you are not spraying the entire unit, I recommend using painter’s tape to protect the piece from overspray. Let dry and repeat with second coat.
- Finally, spray the top and front panel (the areas that were not painted black) with a coat of Clear Satin. This gives the wood a new, clean, matte look!
- Let paint dry for 24 hours, reassemble and enjoy!

#SprayNewLife
I was inspired to begin the House on Squires account in late 2018 to immerse myself and engage within the decor community. My husband Dwain and I share our home with our two teenage children, and have been on a journey to make our builder spec home our own custom paradise since 2005. I have had a passion for design and DIY since a very young age, and I hope to encourage others with my cost effective DIY and decor projects. We have big plans for more projects, and to rebuild in the future.
