A few weeks ago I bumped into a fellow Heritage Square Antique Mall vendor while thrifting. Beth and I both looked at this table for quite a while. She ultimately talked me into getting it.
I loved all the detail so I dragged it to the cottage so I could jazz her up.
I painted the legs first, using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint – Provence.
I distressed the details and then used clear and dark wax to create a worn and wonderful patina.
The top of the table featured a painted design – perhaps a bit art decco?
Overall, the top was in pretty bad shape. I debated salvaging this design, but decided against it.
I’m in the process of finishing up a mate for this table. You’ll have to stay tuned.
I picture this being used as a desk, but it will make a darling dining table or an entry piece. The detail is fabulous!
She will be available soon.
Have a great Monday!

Love it!! So glad you decided to buy this piece! I knew you could bring it back to life and make it look fabulous!! And that was fast!! I have not even touched the cedar chest yet but it has been calling my name! haha! Fantastic job as always!!
I always want to buy furniture and redo it but I haven't taken the plunge. Your photo tutorials like this make it look so easy- and the result is beautiful. Maybe I can.. ;-)
It looks amazing, so a great color
Is the top a different shade or a clear wax finish (vs. the bottom w/a dark wax?)? tx
