Dining Table

I wanted to create a finish for a dining table which should look elegant but also rustic. So I asked myself, is this possible?

The table was dark brown, had many spots and looked shabby and not shabby chic. It was used a lot, the leaves were blocked and with a false movie the whole table would crash – but I got it really cheap.

Antique white was my base color, umber for the accents. I added thin layers, took parts off, distressed the edges and legs.  Then I decided to add the elegant part, the fleur de lyss.

When it was done I was surprised myself, the combination of elegant and rustic was achieved.

I just had to find six matching chairs – I found them. Lucky I was indeed.
