A set of thrift store side tables get a vibrant makeover using Dixie Belle’s Yellowstone National Park Collection Paint **GIVEAWAY ALERT**| Youtube Video
Hi creative friends and welcome back. Today I’m sharing a set of vibrant thrift store side tables painted in a new-to-me Yellowstone paint. I had a few oopsies with this makeover. My original plan didn’t work but it stretched me out of my comfort zone which is always a good thing. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this restyled set!
I’m also joining five super-talented bloggers for a DIXIE BELLE GIVEAWAY FOR YOU!!! Be sure to read until the end of this post on how to enter and win a generous $200 Dixie Belle credit so you can try their products. Then visit my furniture painting friends for an opportunity to enter 5 more $200 giveaways!
A BIG thank you to Dixie Belle Paint Company for sponsoring today’s post!
Here’s the side table set I started with. I found it selling at my local thrift store. They were selling for $14.99 each – a little more than I wanted to pay. I posted a short video on Facebook and you all encouraged me to grab them.
I liked them even better when I brought them home.
The only thing I wasn’t happy with was a little chip on the corner of one of the glass tops. I didn’t notice it in the store so it may have happened when I loaded the glass into my FUV.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED
$14.99 x 2 Thrifted Side Tables – SALVAGED
Shop Towels | Sanding Sponge
White Lightning Cleaner
2″ Flat Paint Brush
Yellowstone Silk All-In-One Paint
Latin Floral Transfer (on clearance as of writing this post!)
YELLOWSTONE SIDE TABLE MAKEOVER
Let’s turn these cute side tables into vibrant and fun beauties!…
CLEAN
To prep these tables for paint I removed the glass and put the two glass panels in a safe place. Then I removed the price tags with my heat gun. Using this White Lightning Cleaning I gave both tables a thorough cleaning.
HOW TO SCUFF SAND BY HAND
I had a comment on last week’s Youtube video from Jayne. She mentioned that she loved seeing hand sanding because not everyone has a sander or wants to invest in a new sander. I love getting comments/input like this so keep them coming!
It encouraged me to scuff sand these tables by hand. I used a sanding pad and wiped all the wood surfaces down using a similar action to wiping down my kitchen counters. Not much more pressure is needed than this. I go over each area until I see the finish on the furniture is scuffed up and slightly dusty. Then wipe all the dust off with a tack cloth and it’s ready for paint or primer.
PAINTING WITH YELLOWSTONE
Now for the fun part! I chose to paint these tables in Yellowstone Silk All In One Mineral Paint.
It’s part of the National Park Collection and check out these gorgeous colors!
I applied two coats using my two-inch flat brush
Below is what the first coat looked like. This is the scary-looking stage. Then I let them dry overnight.
I came back the next morning and applied the second coat. Now it’s starting to look gooood!
My original plan was to add cane webbing underneath the glass for a modern look. You may remember I used the cane mesh on this makeover here and was excited to use it again… BUT as I was cleaning the glass, I broke another corner off, ugggh. I ditched my original plan and opted for a transfer to ‘hide’ the two chipped edges.
HOW TO APPLY A TRANSFER TO GLASS
I used this Latin Floral Transfer as it’s bright and lively – perfect for hiding those corners! To apply the transfer to the glass, I gave the glass a good cleaning with Windex and wiped it down 100%. Then, I removed the transfer from the back sheet and placed it onto the glass. Using the rub-on tool provided, I rubbed the transfer onto the glass while pulling the top sheet off.

FINISHED YELLOWSTONE SIDE TABLES
Here’s the finished look.
And here’s a closer look at the Latin Floral transfer against the Yellowstone paint.
Because the glass is chipped in two corners, I won’t be selling these. But I’m still so happy I got to try this color along with the transfer on the glass!

Hello again... I'm so happy you dropped by! Let's keep in touch! Follow me on social media or sign up for a dose of furniture painting inspiration and diy tutorials. :) 
I’m getting ready to paint a tilt table a similar color with a transfer that is bright and cheery. Now I know looking at your tables, I made the right choice. I wasn’t sure at first, but now yes I am.
I’m so happy this has inspired you to give your project the green light. Have fun Carol! 🙂
What a transformation! The tables are bright and cheery – ready for a covered patio, or sunroom. Also love the colorful transfer. I live in Southern California and these colors go perfect with the sunshine here. Hoping to try on some pieces here. Thank you for your inspiration, as always!
I agree, these would be SO CHEERY in a sunroom! Thanks Jo Ann!
Thanks for the tutorial. I love the color Glacier and would like to try it on an old washstand I have in the garage.
Glacier is gorgeous! Good luck to you Robin!
Will be painting an outdoor bench using that beautiful color! Love your tables!
An outdoor bench in this color would look awesome! Thanks Jane and good luck to you!
Side tables are beautiful…..color is amazing. Cost was a great deal for them Gorgeous
Thank you Lynn, and thanks for participating!
The National Parks color series is just gorgeous! I have several items I want to paint that would be perfect for some of these colors!
I think so too! Good luck Regina!
I am just starting out. I have not tried any of Dixie Belle’s paints. I have seen many colors I can’t wait to try though. I just built a bedside table and will be starting the painting process as soon as I can get the paint. I’m just having a hard time picking the color!
You built a bedside table?… that’s amazing! And ya, so many gorgeous colors it’s hard to pick sometimes…lol. Good luck in the giveaway Ellen!
That transfer is so pretty with that color of paint!
Thanks so much Cindy! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your talent! I look forward to your weekly posts, I am wondering how you will use these tables in your home?
Thanks Christina! I won’t be using these tables in my home because of the chipped glass. But I will be putting them into my inventory for another restyle down the road. Someone on Youtube suggested replacing the glass with wood panels which is one option. Another good suggestions from Facebook, take the glass out and use them as plant stands!
Tables are beautiful!!! I’m excited to see the broken edge, I have a glass that I chipped trying to keep from chipping:/. Now I know how I can make it look good again. Excited to try it now.
Thank you, Annette West
I hope it works out for you Annette and all the best in the giveaway!
What a beautiful color— perfect for summer!
I think so too! Thanks Lu and good luck!
Thank you for this tutorial. Love the Yellowstone color. I have a table that I’m going to try this on.
Thanks Pamela! Good luck!
These tables are so cute!! I wasn’t sure about the color at first, but oh my gosh, it works really well! The transfer just makes everything POP! They would look amazing on a porch!
I think they would make gorgeous porch or sunroom tables as well! Thanks Karen and good luck!
I have so many projects just waiting to paint. I follow all of your posts for inspiration.
Thanks so much Mary and good luck to you!
Denise – This is such a fun transformation. I love the transfers on the glass. The paint combined with the colorful floral transfer adds a touch of whimsy to the tables. Pinned!
Thanks so much Lynn! It was a super fun makeover even with the oopsie…lol. Thanks for the PIN!
Your little side tables turned out so fun with thee transfer on the glass! I have a pair of chairs in my office that I planned to reupholster, but they are put together with way too much glue. So I’m planning to break out the brushes. I want to use silk paint on the fabric seat and back and I’m not sure yet about thee wood.
Hi Diane! Thanks and that sounds like such a fun chair project. Good luck to you in the giveaway!
I love the color of your makeover. I have a antique side table that I am wanting to paint. After seeing yours I think I will give it a try.
Thanks Kesha and have fun with your side table. 🙂
