Hope you had a great weekend. We spent ours nursing a puking child and cheering on the other at an all weekend swim meet. The meet required the alarm to chime at 5:45 am. Brutal!
On to the project at hand. I seem to be into the Rustic look as of late. There is something about the charm of old, well loved pieces.
My brother-in-law picked this table/desk for me. I was almost giddy when I saw it. It was abused, well used and then left for dead. It had more dust and filth than any piece I had worked on.
Using the remains of my ASCP Paris Gray, I followed the grain using a dry brush technique.
This technique brought out the different wood grains.
And finally, she is ready for the store.
It would work as a table but could certainly be a desk. Despite its Rustic appeal, the top is smooth to the touch.
Are you into the Rustic look? Prefer Classic? Shabby?
Hope this is a good week for all!
Partying here:

I love the rustic feel - perfect for this piece! And as for style, I love a little of everything! I tell my husband we need more homes so I can decorate them all differently - he just laughs!
