Completed the Big FARM TABLE that we had been discussing in previous posts. The final design became a Farm Table with a Distressed Thick Pine Top ( 37″ x 54″ ) providing plenty of elbow room for up to six (6) people to enjoy dining with comfort.
HANDMADE in America FARM TABLE with "OLD COUNTRY CHIC" Legs
The Thick Pine Top Farm Table Top was matched with some bigger than normal turned table legs off a table given to Just Fine Tables last year from a former neighbor (Enjoy Greater Atlanta, Ga. friends). We kept the legs (and still have the table top to build one or two kitchen islands with later) until we decided to build a table that we considered would look good with big legs.
Since Just Fine Tables enjoys experimenting,, we decided to modify the coloring of the legs from our typical black to something more shabby with a look representing an age of about 100 years. We feel we succeeded in our Antiquing of the table legs and skirt and have coined a new coloring scheme name for our antiquing, “Old Country Chic”.
[Note: To truly appreciate the “old country chic” look you must be near the table to appreciate. The picture above does not show the uniqueness of the 100 yr old look.,]
Since debuting the Thick Pine Top FARM TABLE at ENCORE RESALES, Pelham, AL, we have received several pleasant comments about our coloring and that we should incorporate our new look, “Old Country Chic”, in some of our upcoming projects. We appreciate the compliments and for you, “Yes!”, we will be doing that on some.
