Facebook Marketplace Reveal

Facebook Marketplace Console Table Makeover

One of my favorite parts of any room makeover is finding those special pieces that tie everything together – and this time, Facebook Marketplace came through in a big way! I stumbled upon the most adorable console table and instantly knew it had to be part of my sunroom refresh. It was listed for $100, but I offered $80 and got it!

The first thing that caught my eye? The gorgeous scallop details. They added such a charming touch that I just couldn’t resist. Of course, I had to put my own spin on it, so a little DIY magic was in order.

Step 1: Prepping for paint - After giving it a good clean, I removed the drawers, took off the knobs, and taped the inside of the table as well as the boxes of the drawers.

Step 2: Prime and sand – I started by applying one coat of HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams Cabinet and Furniture Primer with my paint sprayer, ensuring smooth, even coverage. Once dry, I lightly sanded the surface with fine-grit sandpaper for a flawless finish. To remove any residual dust, I wiped everything down with a clean towel.

Step 3: Paint! Using my paint sprayer, I applied HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams Cabinet and Furniture Paint in the shade "Otter." This paint is available in both satin and semi-gloss sheens, but I chose satin. Between each coat of paint, I lightly sanded with fine-grit sandpaper and wiped everything down to ensure a smooth finish.

Fun fact: I also used this same paint to transform my DIY coffee table, which now sits proudly in the sunroom alongside the console table.

Step 4: Clear Coat (Optional): To add extra durability (because I have a rambunctious toddler), I finished the piece with a coat of Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane in Satin. Since it’s oil-based, be sure to use a disposable brush—do not use your paint sprayer! It dries quickly, so work fast, and make sure your space is well-ventilated because the fumes are strong. Honestly, the poly coat ended up a bit glossier than I wanted, so if you prefer a more matte look, you can totally skip this step. The cabinet paint is durable enough on its own!

Step 5: Finishing Touches - Once the piece was completely dry, I swapped out the old knobs for some new ones that better fit my style. This small change made a big impact and really pulled the whole look together. Finally, I slid the drawers back into place, and just like that – my console table was complete!

This project was so simple but made such a big difference in the space. The new color and updated hardware were the perfect addition to my sunroom makeover. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Sunroom Makeover

Welcome to my sunroom makeover! This space has always been a little paradise for my plant babies, but I figured it was time for me to enjoy it just as much as they do. Plus, I was over the plain white walls and ready to bring in some personality!

The Before:

The DIY Begins!

First things first—I cleared out the entire room, carefully relocating all my plants to make space for the transformation. I started by adding base cap to the top of my baseboards—something I do for all my makeovers because it makes such a difference! Then, I covered the floors with paper and painter’s tape to protect them from what was coming next—PAINT!

Crown Moulding & Painting

This was only my second time installing crown molding, but with a miter saw, adhesive, and a brad nailer, I got it up pretty quickly! (If you want a step-by-step guide, check out this blog post.) Then, I put my brand-new paint sprayer to the test, and with all the intricate details in this molding, it made the job SO much easier. Since this sprayer isn’t ideal for painting entire rooms—unless you want to refill it a thousand times—I rolled the rest of the walls and ceiling in Maison Blanche by HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams, the dreamiest creamy beige that I’m completely obsessed with!

Ceiling Medallion & Chandelier

Next up was painting and hanging the gorgeous ceiling medallion! I used the paint sprayer again to get into all the intricate details, and it paired perfectly with a beautiful chandelier I found on Amazon. It instantly took the space to the next level! I also painted the arch leading into the dining room to create a smoother, more seamless color transition.

Time to Decorate!

Once the painting was done, it was time for my favorite part—decorating!

First, I rolled out this stunning brown rug that I am still completely in love with.
Then, I created a gallery wall on the arched wall—if you want to see my step-by-step method, check out this blog post!
I even built my first-ever piece of furniture—a DIY coffee table! (Check out this blog post to see how I did it!)
I found the perfect arched cabinet but decided to add fabric to the inside of the doors to hide the clutter—see the transformation here!
I painted both my DIY coffee table and a beautiful scalloped console table (a Facebook Marketplace find! Check out that blog post here!) using Cabinet and Furniture Paint in Otter by HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams. The deep brown looked stunning against the creamy walls!
To finish it off, I swapped out the knobs on the console table’s drawers for a little extra charm.
I also added brown pinch pleated blackout curtains on gold rods with gold eyelets, which added such a luxurious and cozy touch to the space. The warm tones complemented the creamy walls perfectly and tied everything together beautifully!

The Finishing Touches

One of my best finds was the bouclé couch in the color Alabaster with washable cushions—SO comfy and practical! After adding the final decor touches and bringing back some of my plants (while redistributing the rest throughout my home), I thought the room was finished... but of course, I wasn’t quite done yet!

The Final Addition: A Frame TV

Since this sunroom quickly became our go-to lounging space, adding a TV just made sense. We installed our second Frame TV, and instead of DIY-ing a frame, this time I simply bought one. To keep things sleek, my husband cut a hole in the drywall and installed a recessed box, running the power through the wall to keep the cords completely hidden. Now, the TV sits flush against the wall and looks just like a piece of art!

And that’s a wrap! My sunroom is now the coziest spot we hang out in all the time—without sacrificing my plants’ happiness. Hope you loved following along with this makeover! Let me know what you think in the comments!
