Six-Legged And Distressed About It


distressed painting, Valspar Bermuda Sand, table
Yep, this little table was six-legged and quite distressed about it.

I knew the cure depended on two sunny days with warm temps.
Got'em both last week.




The table is an interesting shape and perfect beside a chair with a lamp.

 The finish was toast.

 Every time I dusted (and that is not often!) part of the finish flaked off.

 So I guess you could say the table was six-legged, distressed and a bit flaky.





Sanded all over.






















Revealed a slight problem with the veneer on the top.

Easily fixed with wood glue and a clamp.

And extra time for this to dry.












Ready to paint!























Valspar Bermuda Sand.

Sanded with a hand sander.

I know.

I took a distressed table, painted it, and distressed it again.

And it is still six-legged.

But not flaky!






There is a creamy pinkish undertone in this paint.
A clear coat of Minwax paste.












What!?!

No transfer?

No, not this time.

It can be found at Booth W-10, Riverfront Antique Mall in North Augusta, South Carolina.



See y'all!

    I love the six legs. It's so unique. Nice job. I think you're wise not to go overboard and put a transfer on everything. A little variety makes a space worth looking through. Happy day!

    Cute post Donna ... Glad you gave her a new "distressing" look ... looks so much better.
    She should sell quickly.
    Enjoy your Sunday.

    Much better painted. I can see it creating a cosy spot for reading next to a comfy armchair.

    I really like that 6 legged table. I'm sure it was embarrassed to be so flakey.

    Of course, I have a similar table and I love it! I had another, but gave it to Hannah. They're so charming! Yours looks great in white, Donna.

    I thought this was going to be something about a spider missing 2 legs! Your table is lovely and I bet it sells fast!

    You are making these distressed pieces look "distinguished" now. You are finding the most unique tables... I think that catches peoples eye... six legged or not! :) Thanks so much for taking part in "let's Talk Vintage! "
