Today I spent the afternoon making a grain sack table. |
Yesterday I met up with Linsey from The Farmhouse Porch and Anita from Cedar Hill Ranch for lunch and some shopping at Old Town Spring. I had promised myself before we went that I was going to be good and not spend any money. |
Well, I broke that promise when I spotted this adorable little farmhouse table. I HAD to bring it home with me because it was a great price which made me not feel too bad about breaking my promise!;) |
I hand painted the stripes in black. |
I actually liked that I didn't have perfectly straight lines. |
Next up I white washed the top. |
White washing the top though left paint in the cracks of the table. I did not like that so out came the tooth floss!:) |
Next I decided to use my AS Craqueleur to add some more age to the piece. |
My hair dryer is always by my side when I am using Craqueleur. I am just too impatient to wait for it to dry on its own. |
The top of table has only been clear waxed. The bottom portion has been clear waxed and then I added a little dark wax to bring out all the cracks. |
Here is what I ended up with. I was quite pleased with the results. It looks like it was painted years ago. |
I even took the grain stack stripe side down the sides. |
I am so glad I found this little table yesterday and so glad I got to hang out with some fabulous ladies! I can't wait till our next outing. |
