Every now and then, I’ll stroll through a thrift store
without any expectations of finding much of anything. It seems like a lot of bloggers have great
luck striking gold in these stores, but me, not so much. I did find a cute little 3 tiered table in a
very roughed up, shiny mahogany red. I
liked the turns on the legs and for only a few dollars decided to give it a
try.
I forgot to take the required “before” pictures…but I’m sure
you get the idea!
I knew I was going to distress this piece well, so I didn’t
use any Shellac to block the mahogany stain from bleeding through. It was
simple: A little ASCP Paris Gray, a little ASCP Old White wash, some
distressing, clear waxing and buffing.
All in all, it took me about 2 hours to complete this one.
This sweet little table was a good mental health project for me. She didn't give me any trouble, and it felt good to complete a project in a relatively short period of time.
I planned on selling it, but my dear hubby likes its new home next to our front door. "HE" thinks it fills the space nicely! :) (Don't you love, love, love, when they chime in with decorating opinions!) Oh Ponch!
xxoo
More importantly, what did BONZIE think of the new piece??
