Use a chip br...Hi Emily!<br />Sounds like a fun project.<br />Use a chip brush - maybe 2-3" . They are cheap and they have an airy bristle bunch - not heavy.<br />If you want a darker brown base - paint that first, then apply your color on top - lifting your brush gradually before you get to the edge.<br />Then, after you apply your coats of color, go back with a dry brush of brown on a chip brush and pull in from the edges. Dry brush just means that you dip your chip brush into the brown and wipe it off on a paper towel so there is very little paint. This keeps a light and natural effect on the edge.<br />Have fun!<br />Happy to help,<br />DebDeb Hrabikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027226831823604123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136826895116529389.post-70671426403497333312015-05-12T07:15:20.145-07:002015-05-12T07:15:20.145-07:00Hi Deb, I have just found your blog, I am about to...Hi Deb, I have just found your blog, I am about to paint a wooden planked table just like this but with vibrant colours. I am wondering if you are able to tell me please, when you paint the top panels, how do you achieve the distressed look of the wood coming though on the edges, and not just a solid block colour? I would love to know! :) Thanks in advance!

You could use any kind of white on the bottom of the table and sand off a bit for the worn look. <br />Happy Painting,<br />DebDeb Hrabikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027226831823604123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136826895116529389.post-15555472356696222112013-06-24T15:39:07.017-07:002013-06-24T15:39:07.017-07:00It looks lovely!

I have an antique sewing table that I am turning into my desk, but can't figure out how to go about covering up the big hole in the middle because the wood is so beautiful that I (shockingly) don't want to paint over the entire thing! I may have to just add a colorful top & leave the rest to be dark brown. Thanks for the inspiration!

Poor little thing, just waiting for some love, and it sure found the right place. I LOVE it! Are you sure it's a boy?? :) I do have a question, you said you added some acrylic Raw Sienna to the Minwax stain. Did you mix the two together to paint it on? You're so creative, you always seem to know just what to do with a piece. Great job, as always!<br /><br />DebbieDebbie @ MeandMyDIYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454606067378290761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136826895116529389.post-55690269263875618192013-04-05T18:52:16.543-07:002013-04-05T18:52:16.543-07:00Thanks so much for sharing your post at our linky ...Thanks so much for sharing your post at our linky party this week!<br />Great use of pastels!
