The Patient:
I bought it a few years ago at an "antique" barn. It was super cheap, really big and had pretty legs so I was sold. The problem is that the finish on the top is not in the best shape and I'm really not a shabby chic kind of girl. My first response is to paint it white and call it a day but that is just too much white for me. I need color, it makes me happy.
I have thought about painting it a pale blue or staining it the same color as the chairs. The chairs and the table did not come as a set. I actually bought the chairs online from and unfinished furniture store and assembled and stained them myself. By the way, sanding, staining and sealing 8 chairs is a lot of work.
The other idea I have been thinking about is doing a weathered finish to it so it has more of a grey undertone. It is something that I want to do to my pendant also but I just haven't built up the nerve to do it yet.
So what do you think? Paint, stain, weathered? Or maybe you have another fabulous idea that I haven't thought of. Please share!

i think it would look fabulous with the weathered look.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the weathered grey finish. If you do it, take pictures of each step so you can post a tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI love a painted table and natural or wood chairs. Years ago in Pennsylvania, there was a round table that had a stained top and a floral design stenciled on , as a border around the edge. It was just a little hint of color and looked very Old Europe. I always liked that table.
ReplyDeleteI like the gray weathered idea! Take pics along the way. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhen you said color I instantly thought blue! I say blue table, weathered pendant :)
