A Tale of Two Tables


Junkin' is in full swing here now that all our vacations are over and I found these two Frenchy tables that needed a makeover.  
Before: 


 I wanted to get these tables done quickly and in neutral colors  so I pulled out Antique White by  The Urban Rooster and Smokey Grey lightened with Marshmallow Cream and hunkered down with my paintbrush.  After two coats of paint, I distressed and sealed/aged the table with Tung oil/dark wax.

    Darrielle, you are killing me! I need that coffee table. Looks like I'm going to have to grab a trailer and just make my way out to California for a few days....LOL

    Very nice table makeovers! While I love color, I always swoon over pretty white distressed furniture. Your neighbor's hydrangeas are beautiful!

    Do you always use your electric sander for distressing, or do you hand sand as well? Did you sand these for distressing? They're gorgeous!
