Then I used the boards for
styling for this blog and for many of the photos on my online store -here you can see Sette Design Shop.
When I decided to use the tressel table boards and build a
kitchen table. I wanted the legs chunky and fat, so that they would be heavy and stable
enough to support the top without adding cross sections and my little family with all their long legs would be able
to sit directly at the table.
Once the stucco flaked off on the boards, I
just painted it with this off white – pale white-grey color
(Benjamin Moore 2133-70 Satin
finish). This color is amazing
because it adds another level of tone to white and makes everything look so
incredibly hip. What was cool is
when the stucco flaked off it did remain in some places in the form of the wood
grain and therefore adding a beautiful effect to the distressing.

I can’t really do a DIY on this
project because of all the accidents that affected the finish, but here is some
advice for you, when you are painting and distressing furniture it is a good idea to just keep adding layers, wiping and
sanding them off, add wax add gold leaf, use colors that you love in similar
shades and it will turn out amazing.
Good luck!
Go paint something or just go
make a cappuccino and think about your next creative project.

I'm linking with these fun parties:
The look of the table is amazing. Maybe the stucco flaking off is a good thing. I love how the layers compliment each other.
