handsome, well-built, solid, and perfectly suited for all manner of places and occasions, this table (from a recent shelby county flea market) reminds me of a particular dear brother-in-law. a favorite combination – benjamin moore’s ballet white (#oc.9) edged with pratt & lambert’s lambswool (#11.30) – a little tinted glaze, and bob’s your uncle.
before*, after, and details:
it measures 34″ wide by 24″ deep by 30″ high, and is on its way to market central. (pending the shipping quote, it will also be listed on etsy shortly.) and now, it’s friday afternoon, and quite possibly time for an uncle bob (a cocktail concoction mr. jones has adapted from and named in honor of our aforementioned lovely brother-in-law.) happy long weekend, everyone!
(to make mr. jones’s uncle bob: put lots of ice in a tall glass, add 1 ounce-ish vodka, tonic water to almost-full, a splash of red grapfruit juice, a sprig of mint, and a squeeze of lime to finish.)
*finally, a plea to fellow diy’ers…help stop fake-y faux! if a power sander must be employed to get a particular job done, plug it in. however, for authenticity, try not to leave tell-tale little loop-de-loops, like these on the “before”:
thank you!
