<p>I wanted to create a finish for a dining table which should look elegant but also rustic. So I asked myself, is this possible?</p>
<p>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 &#8211; but I got it really cheap.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>When it was done I was surprised myself, the combination of elegant and rustic was achieved.</p>
<p>I just had to find six matching chairs &#8211; I found them. Lucky I was indeed.</p>

<p><strong>FOR SALE &#8211; $300</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not blue, it&#8217;s not gray &#8211; this special refinish is called &#8221; Dusty Morning&#8221;.</p>
<p>When I saw this shelf, I thought, I &#8216;m going to make something special out of it. It is not a real antique, no. But it is a good reproduction of an antique piece, so it is a basic piece I can work with.<br />
There is a drawer on the bottom with designer knobs.</p>
<div id="attachment_212" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://artstudio88.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0239.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-212" title="IMG_0239" src="http://artstudio88.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0239-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Rustique refinished shelf - detail</p></div>
<p>Interested in this piece? Or do you have shelves which need  a make-over?</p>
<p><strong>Call 818-470 2932</strong></p>

<p>The bathroom was completly built from scratch and my client likes the French Country Style  a lot as it is throughout her charming Old Pasadena home.</p>
<p>She had her bathroom furniture customized and the faux finish plus the matching windows and doors made the it perfect indeed</p>
