My favorite motto:
Something from nothing.
I did not really make this from "nothing"
but it has a story.
The legs, once white, were sitting
under the back deck at The Cottage.
I inquired and they belonged to some
of the great ladies there...not yet in use.
Nice shaped iron + paint= fab base
Now the top.
This is my final weathered technique.
It was a blonde wood with
stenciled pineapples...a la 80's.
Yes again no before pics.
I get to excited to transform it all.
I removed the base
(going to use on a great door I scored and build a table).
I was closely looking at a table top
on a farm table in The Cottage.
What made it look so cool?
Old stain, old paint, lots of use.
I can do that!
SO here is my process for the wood:
Sand...be messy, do not remove everything.
Stain. I use a dark walnut stain.
Dry brush with AS Country grey in a random pattern.
Sand again, leaving paint in different places.
Stain again and wipe off.
Wax with AS clear wax for protection and even better patina.
The chairs are another story!
Gotta love these lines.
I have four for this table.
All the arms tuck neatly under the table top.
A few seasonal goodies.
Barn Party - one of my hand painted signs.
Come have a cider and sit a spell no?
