📌📌📌📌 Painted Leather Table Top Makeover | How To Restyle & Paint Leather Furniture
Ever wondered if you can actually paint leather furniture? This 1960s French Provincial side table had a varnished leather top with gold tooling — beautiful, but tired and worn. Instead of tossing it, I decided to give it a whole new look! 💙 Watch as I restyle and paint the leather tabletop for a fresh, modern finish that completely transforms this dated piece.
In this makeover, you’ll learn how to:
✔ Properly clean and prep a varnished leather top for paint
✔ Use primer and mineral paint for a smooth, lasting finish
✔ Add a little extra detail with gilding wax and gold highlights
✔ Restyle an old table into a chic, one-of-a-kind accent piece
