Sharing of my How to..
This Little Vintage (Government Stamped Table) is just quaint enough to be either a Farm Table-Kitchen Island or just Decorative piece..
First I painted it a French Grey & Distressed it a bit.
Purchased some Wood Planks, laid them out-Cut to the size I wanted, with a little overlay.
Once the Wood was cut to size I then screwed them in place-Puttied the holes with Wood Putty.
I sanded the filled holes-and the rest of top- all edges-and softened the corners as well..
I Lightly painted the top of wood-then sanded again-and lightly stained-and Waxed.
I just love the way it turned out- Would be Great as a Kitchen island- Table in a Nook or maybe Crafting table-
Now here it is in the shoppe, waiting for a new home..
A little French in color- rustic on top and dainty for any space..
Ooo I would so use it as a craft table! Perfect size for it!

Fabulous!!! Another winner for sure!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm suppose to be painting an imitation french style desk. It may be laminated pickled wood finish. So far all I have seen is a photo of it. I'll be sanding that puppy down to get the paint to adhere for sure. Do you recommend spray paint or bushing it in on?
I LOVE your table!! What a great idea to add wood planks to the top!!
ReplyDeletePretty! I would use that as an island in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWere your planks tongue and groove and did you glue between them? or did you just screw them down?
curious minds want to know, Pat
Pretty. I love wood on top and the white/grey legs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful transformation... it looks beautiful!
