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

Wooden Spice Rack in Fusion's Plaster


After a customer purchased this white farmhouse roll top bread box and vintage round wooden tray, she found this round spice rack and sent to me to paint to "match" the other two pieces.


As with every piece, it starts with a good cleaning. This piece had a waxy greasy coating that required scraping and scrubbing to be sure it was all off before moving on to the paint process.



Just like the other 2 pieces I applied two coats Fusion Mineral Paint in the color plaster, a warm white color. 


The edges were lightly distressed to keep the vintage look and hints of wood visible. 



To further age it, I applied Fusion Mineral Paint black wax in the crevices and edges.


The last step was to add a stencil, again like the other 2 pieces in the collection. This Waverly stencil fit perfect. Using a small stencil brush I applied Fusion Mineral Paint in coal black over the secured stencil. 



Once dry, it was lightly sanded to give a worn aged look in keeping with the whole look.






She now just needs to add the jars and this beauty is ready for use and looks fabulous with the other pieces.
