It’s time for another Garbage to Gorgeous™ furniture salvage! The neighbors put the bird table in the trash, so I picked it up for an easy upcycle!
It was post-hurricane and the neighbors put this gem out in the trash!
I couldn’t believe it!
I loved it!
Just in case, I did double-check with them to make sure it wasn’t a mistake.
They said they did not want it back.
Okay!
It was the perfect addition to the two chairs I made over for the she shed deck!
It’s been sitting there for about seven months and its time had come!
When I did the chairs, I asked what color the table should be. More than any other color suggested was…
CORAL!
It wasn’t originally on my radar and I wasn’t sure about it, but I asked and decided it was the right thing to do!
So this furniture salvage was going to get a coral makeover!

Directions for Bird Table Furniture Salvage
Step 1
I cleaned the table. It was metal and pretty easy to clean. I used TSP to best prep it for painting. When doing a furniture salvage, it’s always important to give it the best start to be able to accept paint.
Step 2
There was a little bit of surface rust on the table…mostly at the joints. I used the Rusty Metal Primer to give it a good base for painting it.
Step 3
I broke out the coral! It only comes in gloss, so that’s what I took. It looks a little darker in pictures. It’s definitely a bright coral color.
Once dry, I put it on the she shed porch!
I love when I can upcycle or do a furniture salvage in a day! It’s so satisfying!
I’d love to know if you like the color or do you think it would look better in a different color?
