Pottery Barn Inspired Library Table
I was inspired this Pottery Barn Numbers on Black Canvas for this project.
I got this old library table at a garage sale for $15.
Its solid oak and super solid! I sanded down the top and put on
a coat of dark walnut stain.
I made a transpearancy for my overhead. I used various fonts to create it.
I then used my overhead projector to trace on the numbers and then painted black.
I painted the table with white chalk paint.
I also sanded and distressed. I just spray painted the
knob with oil rubbed bronze.
I painted on the numbers on the table top and then distressed.
I then added a coat of dark stain to the top.
HAPPY DAY!!
This is darling! I love everything about it. Man, I have got to get my hands on some of that chalk paint!
ReplyDeleteGirls it's perfect. I love anything with numbers on it, distressed and sanded, makes me want to lay all over it! It would be perfect in a little office or study, well done.

I tend not to leave many comments, but i did a few searching and wound up here "Pottery Barn Inspired Library Table".
ReplyDeleteAnd I actually do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Is it just me or does it appear like a few of these remarks appear like coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at additional sites, I'd like to keep up with anything
fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of all of all your shared sites like your
Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

ReplyDeleteThe combination of lemon and ginger aids digestion and speeds up metabolism. To make this drink, mix one tablespoon of lemon juice with 500ml of water and sipped multiple times for a few hours. The goal is to drink this mixture 7-8 times in the days leading up to a drug test. Next on our list is cranberry juice, which is slightly tart but equally delicious. Cranberry juice is perhaps one of the most widely prescribed options for a THC detox. It causes regular urination, which aids the body’s detoxification process. Visit: https://www.urineworld.com/
