A Black Table Named Hazel
I’m so delighted for you to meet Hazel today:
There’s something just so stunning and classic about black furniture, don’t you think? Hazel wasn’t black when I found her. No, she was bright orange with LOADS of layers of paint! Sorry for the poor quality before photo. I took this after bringing her home from Bent Nail Farm Antiques.
I think you can see just how much paint was on on her:
Before I painted this table, I decided to strip the top. I used Citristrip and I got most of the old paint off. I was fine leaving some as I wanted it to look like an old table. If you’re interested in stripping furniture, you may want to take a look at my How to Strip Furniture Video here.
Since some wood was showing through, I painted the whole piece with primer first. I don’t usually do this with black paint. I used General Finishes Lamp Black which is a favorite black. I applied several coats all over and inside the drawer. Then I distressed back so you could see white paint and the orangey red underneath.
Inside the drawer is a little surprise:
I decoupaged Rifle Paper inside using Mod Podge.
This rose paper is the perfect touch for spring!
There is something about this table shape that I adore. It is perfect in many rooms and I have one as my bedside table, as well as, one in our guest room.
The hardware is from Anthropologie:
This piece is sealed with General Finishes flat top coat.
Hazel is looking for a new home. I may just bring her to the Duxbury Show at the end of this month. Our booth number is 12 and the show is March 28th and 29th at the Duxbury High School. I hope local friends can stop by! I’ll be sharing more painted before & afters later this month leading up to the show.

pretty. I love black furniture too. This one has the perfect shade of black and enough chippiness. I would love to be able to make it to the show. I will check if I have the girls or not. Would love to see you guys again!
gorgeous! love the paper inside and i love black with white peeking through- always!
Your link to the video tutorial was just what I needed. The video is great. I am starting my first stripping project this week. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Thanks!
Adorable! Love the paper inside the drawer.
Lovely transformation Danielle! The black colour is awesome I need to try black too with some of my project.
Have a lovely day!
I love the black table – I am rather partial to black furniture as it just enhances the shape so well. The drawer decoupage is such a lovely touch – a hint of the unexpected!
Hi Danielle – I love the names you give to each of your furniture pieces. The table turned out great in black and love seeing the old red paint peeking through.
I don’t know but I think if you give it a name you end up keeping it! Perhaps Hazel has found her forever home?
Nice job on giving her a facelift.
Such a cute little table! I love the touches of red showing through and the paper inside the drawer! Hugs, Leena
Hazel is a gem now!!
Love the name and transformation! 🙂
So cute! I love black furniture and I love the drawer!
Hazel is charming! Love the lined drawer and the red popping through!
