Antique Library Table or Desk

before... sort of (the old top was extremely oil stained, so this is the new oak top)

oak top stained in antique walnut.... this was just the first coat... lots of coats followed...


painted in Old White... Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

beautiful, timeless table

new oak top stained & poly coated

slight distressing

original brass feet

 
 
I want to keep this piece in the worst way possible... I really do!  I've tried to figure out where in my house it would fit, & I just don't have the space!  It is quite large measuring @ 60"wide x 34 1/2" deep x 31"tall.
 
It has a sticker in the inside of one of the drawers that is Standard Furniture Company, Herkimer, NY.  It is also stamped 6-4-31 on the bottom.  It is a beautiful antique library table, but could be used as a desk, dining table, game table, etc.
 
I am selling this piece myself.  I just love it & hopefully you or someone you know would appreciate this beautiful, character furniture piece!

I'm loving yellow.....

I found some fun fabric to jazz up this rather lifeless chair & then based my paint choice off my fabric.  I wanted to use English Yellow (ASCP), but it was a little off from the yellow in the fabric..... that's where the mixing came in...  the yellow is a combo of English Yellow, Old White, & a little Barcelona Orange.
 
I just dropped these off this afternoon @ Eco Chic, so if you like them, make your way to the store this weekend & tell Maria "hi" from me!!
 
Thanks for looking!

Sherbet.... like the ice cream

These tables remind of sherbet... the colors are fun, vibrant, & super cute!  I dropped them off at Eco Chic the other day with the hopes someone will think they're a fun addition to their home!
