French Grain Sack Striped Nesting Tables


I wanted to do something a bit different with these nesting tables and since I've been crushing on grain sack stripes lately ....


Before ...


After ...


I used 3 coats of DIY white chalk paint.


Then gave the tops a light sand and taped off my stripes.


I used a turquoise coloured paint to fill in my grain sack stripes.


And sanded again, doing the legs as well and distressing the edges.


Then I gave the tables 3 coats of clear varnish.


I love the way they turned out, don't you?


:) Julie

    Was there any tone or colour change on the white from the clear varnish? Great look, love the grain stripes, pinned.

      Hi Joy. No the colours stayed the same. Just a bit shiner. :) Julie

    I've always had a thing for nesting tables. They're so practical when you need an extra little table to hold a cup of coffee or a drink, and they're just so cute nesting together. I love your fresh green grain sack stripes that update your little tables perfectly.
