Today I worked on the finishes for a few recent builds. I rusted the coat rack and made a cute vintage rose colored umbrella (
a super easy build).
Yesterday, I stained the table top of the iron round table I created to sit in front of the settee. I was not happy with it at all:(.
Today I came up with an idea to make it better, I added a thin strip of rusted metal around the edge, then glued a bunch of thin wood strips on top (
I distressed the edge of each one). Initially, I was going to paint to top, but decided to try to tea stain it. The tea stain was too light, so I added my
Peets used coffee grounds, which gave it a look I was happy with.
Here's a peek:
