Sleek & Modern console or sideboard table with Chevrons

~~~ Item Sold ~~~

OK, so this isn't my typical refinishing style, but I had fun with this one!  This table is solid wood (possibly birch or poplar?) and was in OK shape when I came across it (see the before picture).  It has been refinished by hand to transform it from a boring, dated blue table into something unique and contemporary!  

While the shape of the table looks more IKEA than anything (perhaps it was in a previous life?), I thought it would look great with some patterning that would make it stand out from just some other ho-hum table that you could buy at a big-box store.  So I gave the top a hand-painted pattern of raw wood and soft black acrylic, painted in a chevron-esq pattern and sealed it with an ultra-matte finish. I chose an ultra-matte finish as sometimes shine/sheen can detract from a painted pattern. The bottom is a black satin finish.  Perfect for an entry way catch-all for charging tech, holding keys, displaying artwork, and consolidating clutter.  Will also work well in a hallway or behind a sofa!    

Dimensions:  Length: 39" Height: 30"  Depth: 12.5"

Retail price:  $150 







Here's a before picture: while hard to see, the table was covered in dripped paint, heavy scratch and scuff marks and primer was peeking through the cobalt blue.  It was full of painted-on brush hairs too.  No thanks.
