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

Country Chic blog post #7 ~ Nesting table in teal hues


Nesting tables.. perfect pieces to save space but improve functionality when needed. I purchased a set in the tired orange stain and immediately thought fun colors. I did waiver on safe shades of black/grey but in the end, my love of color prevailed. I choose my new favorite, Country Chic's Aurora as the first color. It is such a pretty color but I am sad it is a limited edition color, perhaps I need to stock up on another pot! I had yet to try dark roast, a lovely shade of coffee brown so that went perfect with aurora for the smallest table and I choose a teal paint I had on hand for the largest table.

A quick scrub and painting began. The limited edition Aurora is the all in one formula and the dark roast is regular. I am a fan of Country Chic's regular formula and this dark brown color did not let me down.
 good bye orange stain, hello Aurora

I gave all 3 tables 3 coats of dark wax to seal up with a soft finish. I tried out my new large wax brush from Country Chic and LOVE it, it is the perfect size and applies the wax amazingly!!  Once finished and posted it did not take long for these beauties to sail out the door.
