Vintage Grain Sack and Antique Enamel-Inspired Nesting Tables

I didn't get a chance to blog about these gorgeous, adorable  (gorgable? adorgeous?), tables before they sold.  I absolutely love how they turned out - just like vintage grain sacks and aged enamel washbasins rolled into one! 



The pictures below are what the tables looked like before I finished them - a little distressing and some ubber-durable floor finish to seal everything in. 


And as I said, they're 'nesting' tables...so I'll leave you with a shot of everything pulled together!

    1. Hello Marij,

      Ik de meeste van mijn grafische hier: http://thegraphicsfairy.com/

      Ik sla de afbeelding op mijn computer, gebruik dan een projector om het beeld op de tafel. Dan spoor ik er met een permanent marker. Als u niet beschikt over een projector, kunt u de afbeelding afdrukken uit en zet kalkpapier achter de rug, of wrijf een potlood of grafiet stok op de achterkant van het papier met het beeld op het, en trace over het beeld.

      Ik hoop dat dit helpt!

  4. Hi Emily,
    I found your absolutely gorgeous nesting tables via Pinterest! Love your style. I am going to paint grain sack stripes and add a transfer to a vintage phone bench that I painted today. Thanks for the inspiration. Following you now.

  7. Back panels should not be stapled - these frequently loosen, and the furniture could be weakened. In fact, if the correct jointing techniques have been employed in home furniture construction, the back panels should not be needed for strength - the frame should be strong enough itself. nesting tables
