Farmhouse Styled Wooden Crate

Antique Fold Down Sides Accent Table Restore

This stunning antique drop leaf table is both functional and full of charm, the fold-down edges that make it ideal for smaller spaces while providing extra surface area when needed. Measuring 30”W x 22”D x 24”H, it’s the perfect versatile piece. The top has been beautifully refinished in a rich walnut stain, complemented by a warm white milk-painted base. Light distressing and dark wax enhance its vintage appeal, preserving its timeless character. A lined drawer, finished with elegant damask paper, adds a lovely touch of detail and practicality. Let me share how I achieved this updated look. before

Remember when sun and moon were all the rage in the 90's? This sweet solid wood crate has been brought into the 2020 farmhouse trend updated in this warm white lightly distressed to see a hint of the former green and aged with dark wax.

The sun stickers were scraped off and the crate thoroughly scrubbed everywhere.

Then on to the fun part; painting! I chose "Drop Cloth" from Dixie Belle Paint.

I actually did a whole collection of items in this wonderful warm white color.

Two coats of drop cloth were brushed on and when dry it was sanded with a sanding sponge to distress the edges to reveal the original green color. This was followed by a coat of Dixie Belle's best dang wax in clear to seal it all up.
