"Isn’t this a cool piece?!? I saw this at a antique store…It was stained bright red with a weird leaf connected to the top but I liked the simple primitive style it had so we started be removing the weird leaf then stripped it down as close as I could to the bare wood…I painted it in General Finishes Lamp Black then gave it a cool ombré effect with the distressing. We also wanted to add a little height so I added a set of metal legs which also added a nice modern touch!" - NB.Restorations by...
