I am excited to show you how I made this…well I don’t want to say ugly…but boring glass patio table into something much much cuter! I see these tables all over the place for super cheap. They are usually a lot less than other outdoor dining tables. This one didn’t have any chairs with it, so we built these $10 benches to go with it. I looked at the table on my porch for awhile just looking blah and kind of yuck trying to get an idea of what to do with it.

While walking the aisles of Target I saw some of the delicious colors that Devine Paint has and knew it was time to do something about that table. I had thought about painting the top several times, but didn’t know how to seal it for weather properly. It suddenly occurred to me that I could paint the bottom!

Glass Patio Table Makeover

  • First take off the legs, these ones just pulled off after sliding them away from the corners.
  • Turn the table upside down and clean really well.
  • You’ll need a mini paint roller and your choice of paint color.
  • Paint the glass in even coats. Don’t walk away until the entire coat is complete, or you will get streaks.
  • You will need 3-4 coats of paint, letting each dry in the sun (or garage) in between each coat.

Glass Patio Table Makeover Continued

  • Turn the legs upside down
  • Get your favorite spray paint color and my favorite spray paint nozzle
  • Paint in slow even strokes all of the legs and base of the table. You will need 2-3 coats.
  • Once dry enough, turn over and paint the top of the base.
  • Turn the glass table over and tape the edges of glass and around the center umbrella ring.
  • With the same color spray paint, paint the edges of the table and the ring. You will need 2-3 coats.
  • Finally put it all back together and add a cute umbrella for the perfect glass patio table makeover!

    Just darling! I would never have though of painting one of these glass tables; yours is perfect! Thank you for the idea, the pictures, and the instructions!

    Awesome! I just painted my outside window trim BM Dove White. They didn’t look anywhere nearly as nice as your patio door. I have a small round table just like this I have been itching to up cycle, you have solved my dilemma! I also love my Rustoleum spray gun! My newest favorite is the Rustoleum high heat matte black – it looks super modern. (I had left over)

      Oh yay! I’m glad I could inspire you! I want to see pictures when you finish your table! And seriously, the Rustoleum spray gun rocks my socks! Oh, PS-don’t look too close at my door, there are some definite spots that didn’t turn out perfectly, but it looks 100% better in my opinion!
      Thanks for taking the time to comment!

    Hey! How has your table held up? I’m thinking of doing the same to mine but I’m curious if you would still do it a year later?

    It looks awesome!!

    I’m looking at my ratty patio table and thought about donating it but I think I’ll try your same makeover. If it turns out half as nice as yours I’ll consider it a success. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hi hon, I am in Canada and we don’t have Devine Paint. Is it a special kind of paint? Would regular paint work?

      Hey Merrin!
      Yes! Any kind of paint will work, I just loved the colors that Devine Paint had when I did this, and that they were just the right size for this kind of project. Good luck with this and I would love to see the finished table! 🙂

        Thanks so much! I did finish the project (save a few touch ups) it turned out really nice. I did find that there were a few spots I couldn’t get to on the glass because of the plastic holder for the legs is right up to the glass. Other than that it’s pretty cute. Did you have the same problem with your table? Any ideas for a solution? I have a picture but it won’t let me post it here 🙂

  • It’s October! And that means I can start sharing Halloween! 👻 🎃 💀 Making the World Cuter is FULL of fun Halloween printables and decor, AND I also have a TON of ideas over on @orientaltrading #fun365. Click the link in my profile to see all the fun from both of the sites. Who else loves Halloween? (And the SNL skit with the little hands 😂 this is what these skeleton backscratchers remind me of!) #halloween #skeleton #skeletonsquad #orientaltrading #snl #tinyhands #punny #freeprintables #halloweentreats
  • I read in a book this weekend something along the lines of “the only thing you get to pick in this life is how to feel”. I choose love. I choose joy. And when I have a grumpy day, or I am feeling sad, I can remember that I am not alone. Not ever. I have a Savior who loves me and is reaching out...so that when I am done feeling sad, grumpy or whatever...I can feel joy and love again. I just have to choose it.
  • Our most favorite game company @grandpa.becks.games sent us a fun package with their new game #antiquityquest to play and we are diving right in! We love all of their games! We have on frequent rotation, Skull King, Cover Your Assets, The Bears and the Bees and Cover Your Kingdom...and I’m sure this one will be a favorite too! What’s your favorite Grandpa Beck’s game? (Or game period? We are HUGE board and card game players at our house, favorite family activity for sure!)
  • Where is your focus? 💕
  • If someone wants to know what it’s like being a mom of boys is like...I would just pee all over their bathroom floor, eat all of the food out of the fridge, tell them 800 stories about Minecraft, fart and giggle about it at least 20 times, and when they were ready to kick me out to the curb...I would just give them a hug and tell them they’re pretty. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🥰 Being a mom of three boys is an absolute adventure every single day. They fight, they make messes, they love to snuggle when no one is watching and love their mama the most no matter how frustrated she gets. It’s just the best. ♥️ It’s crazy to me as they are getting into their tween and teenage years how I can see the man they are growing into, but also the little boy who still just wants their mommy to tuck them in. 🛌 My oldest is asking for his own room...and while we have the space, I just can’t come to terms with it. 😔 I love having them all in the same room. Even though it’s frustrating to have them talking and laughing way after their bedtime...it’s still so great that they are best friends. 💕 I know taking him out of the room would be the start of that going away. He would lock himself in the room and keep them out. (Based on his personality I know this to be the case). For his own good...and my mama heart ❤️ they are all staying together in the bunk room for now. Plus it’s so dang cute, how could he want to move out?! 😉 ➖ Do your kids share rooms?

  • It's so interesting to me to think this way. The friends we have in our lives, our families, the people who pop up in our feed or strangers we walk past in the store...none of it coincidence. ⁣ .⁣ The best part though, is that we get to decide what to do with what has been placed in our lives. Love our family and friends and be grateful for them. Learn from them and hold onto them. When we see strangers in real life or online, we can choose to be kind, say the thing that stands out to us as beautiful in them and change their whole day...or maybe even life. ⁣ .⁣ I've had so many seemingly random people placed in my life that have made a difference. Just recently I was walking around Hobby Lobby thinking about some stuff that happened and feeling pretty low on self esteem. A woman I had never seen before walked by and told me she just loved my hair and asked how I had done it. I told her, we talked and laughed for a moment and went on our way. She didn't have to say anything, and it's not like she solved the problems I was thinking about, but she changed my day. She got me out of my head and made me realize I have something to give. ⁣ .⁣ We can choose to be kind. We can choose to learn. We can choose to be grateful.
