My first post of the new year on a very cold day here Missouri.
Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year!!!
I like the surprise I get when I see that unique piece in any setting that you think shouldn't be there, but somehow it is and looks great. I get that look when friends, guests and family see what I have added or changed in my home or my garden. Or, maybe they just think/understand or know I am crazy!
A sofa table made from barn wood and a couple of very neglected pillar posts creates that ultimate surprise. A little bit of cottage, vintage, shabby chic and maybe a little French décor?
 |  Or a three-legged table in the foyer? |
After several coats of semi-gloss paint the barn wood planks were attached to the legs.
The graphics from Fairy Graphics were applied after the tables were painted. I used my tutorial here for applying the graphics. The graphic below has the opacity and texture of a real doily. Love it!

The two antique pillars actually made legs for three tables. I am showing two of the tables here. My oh so handy hubby then used a sawtooth bit to make the circles, then used a wood chisel to scrap out enough of the wood to put on a square metal plate and then attached them onto the painted barn wood planks.
(Of note- the legs were painted after attaching the barn wood planks.)

Check out this previous post (Room Divider w/Grit & Grace) that now matches my sofa and foyer tables!
