This little table kind of got pushed to the back of the pile, but I was in the mood for a (hopefully) simpler project after the headache my second farmhouse table has been causing me (I will post about that one soon). Then I saw two end tables The Frosted Gardner finished recently (here and here), and I decided this one needed to be black as well!
I painted it with Rustoleum's Flat Black. It doesn't seem to get as gummy as some other brands, which is good for my Critter siphon gun. I distressed the edges a little to show off the pretty details. I love the base and the legs on this table.
I used the original knobs, but painted them with Krylon's Oil-rubbed bronze spray paint.
I gave it a couple of coats of Minwax Hand-rubbed polyurethane to finish.Did I mention this was a heavy table?? It was a trick to carry it into the house from the garage! I had to get my 13-year-old to help me put it down!
I think it likes me--but I have NO place to put it! Hoping it will find a good home soon!
Great redo! I'm new to your blog, and so happy to have found you! I love blogs that tackle projects, and share them - and have a creative flair! I write Color Outside the Lines, which I hope you have visited - but if you haven't stop by and see me! I do a Friday meme called Vignette Friday's, and I'd love it if you'd join us this week. It's all about sharing those vignette shots of your home or garden, including things you'd made or re-done yourself, or the fantastic finds you might get at a garage or yard sale! I know you'd be inspired, and inspiring - and really isn't that what blogging is all about? :) Hope you'll join me - now off to read more of your great blog! YAY! Take care, Artie.
