A little more than a year ago I designed and painted this desk/table. I had most of the wood cut, my supplies and legs, and was going to build it myself. Then I realized maybe I couldn't make it as strong and sturdy as my carpenter neighbor could. So, I gave him the pieces and asked him to build it for me.
After my neighbor did a great job of building this table, I painted it a french grey, painted a lighter french grey design, distressed and then aged it with an aging/antiquing glaze that I mixed.
For a while I had this table in a store, Gracious Living. Kennie sold tons of my things, but this desk/table wasn't in there very long and Kennie closed her store. So, it's been in storage and now I'm ready to sell it again. I really love this desk/table, but don't have room for it in my house.
Here it is in Gracious Living. Kennie put everything together so beautifully!
Since the french browny greys are so popular now, I think I'll paint some more things these colors.
Update: I really love this table and couldn't bear to sell it, so I'm now using it as my own desk.
Lynda, I love this table! Found it on Pinterest first and then saw your post. Of course, I pinned it because I LOVE it. I might have to try this myself.
