diy furniture Assemble the short ends first, then attach those to the long apron boards. Space the four truss boards evenly (right) and attach them to the apron/ frame. Center the apron and legs on the table top and at- tach with pocket screws in the pre-drilled holes. The struc- ture of the table is complete at this point.
You can see this table as well as more of Chrystal’s finds/creations at Restoration Emporium in the West Bottoms. For the finish (far right), I stained the entire piece with a dark walnut stain. The base was then painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White and distressed, then finished with Annie Sloan’s clear wax. The top received three coats of Deft Brush- ing Lacquer. ^ Table Styling: Jennifer Wood, Brossie Belle, with Erin Shipps. Photography: Megan Kapple. Chandelier courtsey of Restoration Emporium.
