DIY Coffee Bar From an Old Table

I had this pub table sitting downstairs for a while and just had no use for it. I didn't want to just throw it away because it did have storage potential.
So I started by snapping a few chalk lines across the top and using my circular saw to cut off the excess top even with the base.
Once I sanded it down, I painted the bottom with CeCe Caldwell's Paints in Duck Blue. Then for the top I wanted a weathered look so I started with a base color.
I used Philadelphia Parchment as my base.
Then with a large fluffy cling-on brush I started with UnicornSpit in a mix of the Three Trees collection to make an antique walnut.
I then dry brushed on some Weathered Daydream.
I blended lightly all over the top.
Once it was all dry I went over it with a few coats of Daddy Van's wax.
I love the way it turned out.
And it was pretty easy.
