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

Salt & Pepper in Dixie Belle Drop Cloth



This sweet set is combined with the above pepper grinder and the below salt shaker. The below pepper grinder was also done in another farmhouse white but with another salt shaker partner.


I like to mix and match pieces as it seems there are always singles to be found.


All the above pieces were done in the same gorgeous "Drop Cloth" from Dixie Belle Paint. 


The salt and pepper pieces each got 2 coats drying after each followed by a coat of Dixie Belle's best dang wax in clear to seal them.


And as the final step, again from my Dixie Belle's sack o' wax I chose brown wax to add detail, dimension and age.

  1. Your salt and pepper shakers are perfect! I would never had thought they didn't belong together if I hadn't seen the before photos. I especially like the slight size difference. I picked this as one of my features at this week's Snickerdoodle Create Bake Make Link Party.
