Shabby French "driftwood/bleached wood" table

This has been a busy month, so I haven't posted in a while; but I've been working hard on refinishing a lot of pieces for the Beeton Honey Festival.  Some more pieces will be completed soon, along with a few custom orders as well (pictures to come!!)

This latest installment is a table that got a fun "French country" makeover.  It was a pretty table to begin with: beautiful lines and solid oak...very promising.  It just needed some serious TLC to take it from a homely and very ratty, orange varnished finish to something that I wanted to resemble driftwood.  Then a mix of stenciling and hand-painting, and a very matte sealant to keep that raw, bleachy driftwood look were added to make it a little more special. :)  Here's the final result which will appear in my booth at the festival:







This table definitely has gloriously beveled woodworking!













If you have some furniture at home (or perhaps you've stumbled across a piece at a garage sale or thrift store...), but you're not satisfied with its current state, contact me at sageandbalm@gmail.com and consider a face-lift for your boring, drab or outdated items!
 I do custom orders of a wide range of furnishings and finishes so you can fall back in love with some of your old furniture, and at the same time, you're recycling: hooray!!

(YES: I use all eco-friendly products specifically designed for furniture!)
