Before and After: Jeanette's Crisp White Table

Happy Sunday! I've been working on a commission for a lovely lady named Jeanette.  She brought me this old rustic wooden table, which she had rescued from Kijiji and was hoping Lather Creations could turn it into something special.  Here is the before...

Rustic is a nice way of saying the table was in pretty rough shape.  But J was sweet enough to hand scrape the top for me, which brought it down to a smooth surface.  I sanded down the rest and primed it good.  Several coats of white paint brightened it up, while finish sealed the deal. 

I had originally contemplated distressing the table to blend better with the roughness, but I ended up loving how fresh it looked without.  It really highlights all the nice curves and angles.  But I love that you can still see the outlines of the boards, it's a great mix of old and new.The drawer was dressed up with Japanese paper in a cherry blossom print with a bit of added sparkle in a crystal pull.

Here's the crisp new after!

Have a fantastic Sunday my friends!
