Antique Side Tables Turned Rustic

I often find old tables with the leather tops. While you can paint them, I wanted to do something a little different with these.

I sanded, primed, painted, and distressed the bodies. After removing the old tops, I secured reclaimed pallet wood to the tables to give them a rustic chic look.

The little imperfections and different coloring on the wood really gave these character.

These were my first Craigslist sale so it was a little bitter-sweet to see them go, but I was pleased to see them go to someone so happy to get them!
