Thanks Stephanie. It’s my favorite look, adding painted pieces and stained wood!

Danyle,

I considered doing as you suggested, but the pallet boards were much thicker and would have left their own drop-off around the edge of the table, making drinks teeter if not rested properly. 🙂

Thanks for your oh so sweet comment and I’m so happy you appreciate my tips. Wasting time is NOT fun.

I played around with the idea of doing a blue wash over the dark stained pallet boards. I’m glad I didn’t do that.

thanks agian,

I think the contrast between the brown pallett boards and the blue table edge would have tied it together with the bottom drawer front. It also wouldn’t have that oddish drop off the edge on the top. Other than that I think it’s great looking and functional- love the color choices you made on this project. I appreciate all the details about the prep repairs and the cleaning tips. That is so essential to making a lasting piece of furniture and not being sad later that you wasted your time. That is a great tip! Thank you! Awesome job!

Jennifer,

That’s awesome! I’m so happy to have inspired you to do the two toned furniture look. (It’s my favorite)

That chair? hmmmm I dunno. I think it wants to be a planter. lol What would you do with it?

Thanks to you, I’ve become a fan of painted wood bottom with stained wood tops. The more important question; what are you going to do with that amazing metal chair? I remember we had two like that was I was a kid.
