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

Bayberry Green Jumbo Salt and Pepper Grinder Set

 

This is the tallest salt and pepper set I have seen. They are jumbo at 16" high. A customer wanted them updated in a rich green color and chose Fusion Mineral Paint bayberry.


As always the first step was to scrub them well. There is always something on wood surfaces after years of use that will affect the paint adherence.


Size is deceptive so I put the paint tub beside them. Tall right?


Three coats of Fusion Mineral Paint bayberry were carefully brushed on for a smooth seamless finish. The customer did not want an aged look but rather a modern solid look. To add a bit of shine over the matte paint I hand rubbed in Homestead House clear wax


It added the perfect shine to this gorgeous green solid wood set.


They are so tall they dwarf the antique drum table.
