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

CRASH!!!!


It shattered into a pile of shards and the poor little plant had a big pruning but I saved it.


I grabbed this one; again from a previous succulent trio set from Costco that was no longer in use. The whitewashed purple was not the best color for my home. Updating it would be perfect.


After a scrub and dry, I brushed on saltwater from the Dixie Belle silk paint line. This paint has a built in primer: the pots rough exterior naturally will adhere paint great but this is a bonus and top coat: even though I made add a gloss clear coat in the future make it perfect for the plant pot update.

Two coats gave great overage. HERE are other saltwater projects.


So if you break one ... make one!!

Give this paint a try for your next accidental creation :)
