farm house table


... and the last of christmas flowers.
(What is it with me that I can't throw away flowers before they really have died? ;)


The farmhouse table is our old IKEA Norden table with some planks on top.
I'm happy how it turned out, but not really sure with the color I used for the legs.


I just painted them once and I need to do one more coat... 
(see the plastic sheet is still under ;)

The color is a light grey, though a little darker than the bench, but the slight pink/purple hue is bothering me.


My inspiration pic was some shades darker... shall I get new paint?



I think I have to. Or will mixing it with some black paint do the trick?

Oi! Har du sett, så flott det var! :) Det er gøy å få noe så flott ut av noe enkelt! Great idea!

Jeg skal male benene på vårt sofabord selv, jeg lurte på fargen sky, som er brukt på gutterommet. Det blir vel tilnermet likt inspirasjonsbildet du viser- og det var jo veldig fint! :)

Ha en fortsatt god søndag!

Well I think your table is already beautiful, but that inspiration piece is stunning! If you really want the depth of that color, I would buy a new can of paint. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

I believe you could just add some black, and play with it till you get the right shade of grey. I LOVE your table! The grey base you are wanting is really beautiful!
