Ornate Occasional Table

This table came to me in bad shape. Bad. Broken pieces, part of the plank top falling off and chipping veneer. You know who I called....the FIL (Father-in-law). He fixed it up perfectly.

Notice I finally ditched my point and shoot camera! No more blur!

I used the vinegar treatment to age the wood and then put one coat of poly on it for a little protection without making it look too nice. Shayne loves the pieces at her shop to look "crusty".

I dry brushed 2 coats of white on the apron and legs, heavily distressed it and then used Ebony stain to glaze.
